Japan is no stranger to earthquakes, being one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries. In 2011, a massive earthquake and subsequent tsunami devastated the nation, killing thousands of people and causing a catastrophic meltdown at the Fukushima nuclear plant.
Since then, Japan has taken numerous steps to improve its infrastructure and disaster preparedness in order to minimize the damage caused by future earthquakes.
