I figured that when I go to Japan, I will be in good hands. If there is any country that knows how to stay prepared for earthquakes, it’s Japan. I trust their scientists, I trust their warning networks, I trust their engineers who designed bridges and tunnels, and I trust the work excellence and attention to detail that is part of Japanese culture.

It doesn't help that Japanese firetruck sirens sound exactly like a national disaster siren in my country. So, while in Tokyo, I woke up in the middle of the night to the siren of a firetruck passing by, jumped off my bed and rushed outside. It didn't help that I was dreaming about an earthquake right until the moment I woke up.
Funny, I was just there last week cycling in the Shimanami kaido (specially i also followed your journey from Imabari to onomichi, to eating onomichi ramen and ropeway to Senko-ji Temple), Prior to that, the megaquake and even mpox advisory made me think a lot as well but in the end i just pushed through.
Yeah unfortunately we all have to 'push through' risks of earthquakes. How's your journey though, did you enjoy Onomichi? I'd imagine the weather to be very hot and humid, I wouldn't even dare visiting in August.
@@Will_Zhao Not to mention, typhoons as well, good thing i was able to dodge the typhoon that hit recently, My friend however, got stuck. Weather? it's hot as expected but somehow it's just similar and i feel like it's less humid than my home country (the Philippines, it's always hot here). I only went August because friend climbed up Mt. Fuji as it's one of the few slots and seasons to climb it. Despite the heat, there are absurd amount of tourists in hotspots like Kyoto, even the queue in Onomichi Ramen is long even with the heat.

I live in Los Angeles and several years ago downloaded the Tokyo Disaster Preparedness Manual because they do it better. Has truly great advice.
Just as I start worrying about this, Will comes out with the perfect video! Thank you!!
I love this channel. Last year you helped my mom and I ride the Sagano romantic train and for this year's Japan trip you've helped with earthquakes.
Thank you so much for the support. It means so much to me knowing that the content I make actually helps people with their trips.

Agreed, though I'm more afraid of tsunamis that may follow than earthquakes themselves
I really appreciate the efforts you put into creating every single video. Thank you. Your content helped a lot in my Japan trip this spring.
Yes, your cellphone will alert you when an earthquake is coming without a dedicated app installed.
which phone tho? only phones with Japanese number or iPhone? Or will Samsung do it as well?
@@breannawegener4049 The alarm is platform agnostic, as long your phone can reach a cell tower, you should be able to get those last minute alarms.
Flying to fukuoka in 9 days, let’s do this! Cheers!
On a lighter note, Suica is bringing back IC Registered IC cards on September 1st 😎
@@Sammmmmmmm617 yes!
What’s the difference between suica and icoca?

Luckily I visited earlier, but worry about my dad's relatives. I hope them and everyone will be okay and safe!

Thank you king 👑
