@momomoko_jp: Japan gets about 1,500 felt earthquakes a year. Most are small — but if one hits during your trip, here's what actually happens and what you do, in order: 📱 Every phone around you screams at once. That's the Earthquake Early Warning — the shaking arrives seconds later. Don't dismiss it: get low, cover your head, away from windows 🏢 The building sways. Stay inside. Modern Japanese buildings are built to move — outside is where glass, signs and roof tiles come down. Under a sturdy table until it stops 🛗 The elevator stops and stays off until it's inspected. Stairs, always. Already inside one? Press every floor, get out at the first stop. Stuck? Use the intercom 🆘 Hurt or trapped? Yell たすけて！ (tasukete!) = help! One word, everyone reacts to it. 📞 119 = ambulance & fire · 110 = police 🌊 Near the sea? Strong — or weak but long — shaking IS the warning. Go uphill or up a tall concrete building now. Don't come back until the warning is lifted Before you land: get the free "Safety tips" app (official, alerts in English — foreign SIMs don't always receive the warning). Save this before your trip 🔖 📲 Practice たすけて out loud — search "Kana Language Partner" in your app store Have you ever felt one in Japan? 👇 #japantravel #japantraveltips #earthquake #tokyotravel #learnjapanes
