Since the Great East Japan Earthquake, earthquakes have occurred in various places such as volcanic eruptions, the Kumamoto earthquake, the northern Osaka earthquake, and the eastern Hokkaido Iburi earthquake. In addition, meteorological disasters caused by typhoons and heavy rains, including heavy rains in July 2018 and Typhoon 19 in 2019, occur almost every year, and it is feared that earthquakes beneath the capital and huge Nankai Trough earthquakes will occur in the future.
