With over 140,000 people being killed by one single earthquake, the fear surrounding the quakes is completely understandable. These disastrous quakes are fairly rare and it is unlikely you would ever get caught in one.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>However<\/strong>, this does not mean that earthquakes in Tokyo themselves are rare, it is the complete opposite in fact! Approximately 2000 earthquakes are felt every single year in Japan as a whole, but, <strong>how often are earthquakes actually felt in Tokyo?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Despite the exact yearly number of quakes and tremors in Japan each year being unknown, there are roughly around 2000 earthquakes per year that can actually be felt in Tokyo. However, there are hundreds of tremors every single day that are not felt due to their lower magnitude rating.&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:30px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Since we now know how often earthquakes are actually felt in Tokyo, it\u2019s important for me to do my best to inform you on what to do if the situation arises, and how you can keep yourself safe. I have spent many hours researching about previous quakes, safety precautions and what to do in the event of a disastrous earthquake if you are unlucky enough to be caught in one.<\/p>\n\n\n<style>.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b42acb-ec .kb-table-of-content-wrap{padding-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-right:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-bottom:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);padding-left:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);background-color:#dcdcdc;border-top:4px solid #000000;border-right:4px solid #000000;border-bottom:4px solid #000000;border-left:4px solid #000000;box-shadow:12px 15px 14px 0px rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.2);}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b42acb-ec .kb-table-of-contents-title-wrap{padding-top:0px;padding-right:0px;padding-bottom:0px;padding-left:0px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b42acb-ec .kb-table-of-contents-title-wrap{color:#790000;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b42acb-ec .kb-table-of-contents-title{color:#790000;font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b42acb-ec .kb-table-of-content-wrap .kb-table-of-content-list{color:#010101;font-weight:regular;font-style:normal;margin-top:var(--global-kb-spacing-sm, 1.5rem);margin-right:0px;margin-bottom:0px;margin-left:0px;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b42acb-ec .kb-table-of-content-wrap .kb-table-of-content-list .kb-table-of-contents__entry:hover{color:#850000;}.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b42acb-ec .kb-toggle-icon-style-basiccircle .kb-table-of-contents-icon-trigger:after, .kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b42acb-ec .kb-toggle-icon-style-basiccircle .kb-table-of-contents-icon-trigger:before, .kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b42acb-ec .kb-toggle-icon-style-arrowcircle .kb-table-of-contents-icon-trigger:after, .kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b42acb-ec .kb-toggle-icon-style-arrowcircle .kb-table-of-contents-icon-trigger:before, .kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b42acb-ec .kb-toggle-icon-style-xclosecircle .kb-table-of-contents-icon-trigger:after, .kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b42acb-ec .kb-toggle-icon-style-xclosecircle .kb-table-of-contents-icon-trigger:before{background-color:#dcdcdc;}@media all and (max-width: 1024px){.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b42acb-ec .kb-table-of-content-wrap{border-top:4px solid #000000;border-right:4px solid #000000;border-bottom:4px solid #000000;border-left:4px solid #000000;}}@media all and (max-width: 767px){.kb-table-of-content-nav.kb-table-of-content-id_b42acb-ec .kb-table-of-content-wrap{border-top:4px solid #000000;border-right:4px solid #000000;border-bottom:4px solid #000000;border-left:4px solid #000000;}}<\/style>\n\n\n<div style=\"height:57px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>How Often Do Earthquakes Occur In Tokyo?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Earthquakes are undoubtedly a common occurrence in Japan. From tiny tremors that cannot be felt, to catastrophic quakes killing thousands of people; Japan has had its <strong>fair share<\/strong> in the past.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>There is no exaggeration when people say that tremors can occur every <strong>5 minutes<\/strong> beneath Japan. I am not going to go into how or why so many earthquakes happen on Japanese land. <strong>However<\/strong>, to put it simply, <strong>Japan is unlucky<\/strong> in terms of the country\u2019s placement on the globe. This is because it is placed right on top of<strong> 4 tectonic plates<\/strong>, which is the cause for such frequent tremors and quakes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:1px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p>Earthquakes themselves aren\u2019t really news in Japan. <strong>However<\/strong>, once the earthquake is above a magnitude rating of 7, then it can be deemed unsafe and it is a much rarer situation that is occurring.

This number spread out through the months of a year is around 166. <strong>Yep<\/strong>. <em>Approximately <\/em><strong>166 earthquakes or tremors<\/strong> can be felt <strong><em>every <\/em>month <\/strong>in Tokyo.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:22px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Are There A Lot Of Earthquakes In Japan?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you can\u2019t tell by now, Japan has a lot of earthquakes.

Due to the location of the land and tectonic plates, there is no way to stop them from occurring.
