Osaka earthquake

[Ruriel]

If the area that he is going is damaged by earthquake but have not recovered yet, is it a clause claimable by insurance? If not, like no point going to a place where everything is damaged or closed.

Not recovered in 6 mths time? If it's a nuclear plant leak (as with Fukushima), then yes perhaps you can claim from travel insurance. Otherwise I don't think a situation where everything in the affected region cannot recover in 6 mths time is plausible....

Hi all. My trip to the Osaka/kyoto region is coming this weekend. I'm not sure if I should postpone the trip to 1-2 weeks later or just continue as planned as the Japanese govt seems to be worried that the 5.9 earthquake would only be a foreshock.

Any thoughts on this? Thanks!

Depends on you.

Aftershock will be likely over the next few days. Hopefully next week will be back to normal.

Maybe you can consider going to Kanto instead if you are worried about aftershock

if i am u i would most likely postpone at least 1 month... unless i can change the travel plan to avoid the quake affected areas...

although electrical supply was restored very quickly... water and gas lines will take much longer... and they still need time to check for other damages...

There's always a risk of earthquakes in Japan. The next great kanto earthquake is way overdue the predictions by experts by years.

All along hanshi or osaka region got predicted by japan quake expert there is a major one but just a matter of don’t know when only

And Fuji San is a sleeping one passed the equpt stages so even experts don’t know when too

The last major quake Shaken Fuji expert say it affect Fuji some how too

Just take precaution and buy insurance lor this is what we can only do if travel go those region
Even Taiwan is not quake immune too lor

Want safe don’t travel stick to SG lor
My last trip I kanan Trumer too in Tokyo even then epic centre At The Sendai aren at midnight but mine quake alerts me so know

And I always prepare extra power bank in case and touch light too

Yup, best is don't go Japan at all for those who are bothered about this. Especially when the great Kanto quake is way overdue and may happen anytime.

Osaka area sits above the fault line that caused the Great Hanshin Earthquake.
Anytime it might happen again in the future. So if you're worried. Especially if you're travelling with your kids and family. Then better adjust your travel plans and avoid that place temporarily.

 

[Mergui219067]

Kobe had a serious one years ago .
It is not that far away esp for nature & God.

 

[Mergui219067]

Better don’t go to places in earthquake zone.
It is unpredictable & may happen in your sleep .

More scary if the hotel is not properly constructed or a huge earthquake.

N.B been to Japan 10x last 5 years
China JiuzhaiGou 1x .

Is it still safe to go? plan to go around Dec.

Not even say temporarily. If really worried about earthquakes then its best for them to totally avoid stepping into the Japan cities/prefectures (sorry I don't know which is the correct term) that are lying on top of and near the fault line.

There's always seismic activity going on because the plates are constantly moving, and Japan just happens to sit on the fault line on the joint of 4 different plates (Edit: I dug a little deeper and realised that my previous statement of Japan sitting on 2 plates were incorrect - Japan is on 4 different plates wut? Tokyo itself sits on the main Honshu Island which in turn sits on the intersection of 3 continental plates). I'm sure those who took Geography lessons last time in school would know what that means.

Anyway at the end of the day, earthquakes are unpredicatable - you'll never know when the next one will come. As said many times before in this thread, the next great Kanto quake (that will hit Tokyo) is way overdue already. When will it hit? No one knows. For those who are really worried, then please don't choose Japan as your holiday destination.

Side (unrelated?) note: today Shinmoedake volcano in Kagoshima just erupted again (about 2hr ago?). The volcano has been quite active this 2018... last month got a big eruption, now another one.

is the osaka faultline the same as the one at tokyo? if so, a big quake like the one just hit osaka might have release some pressure off the faultline delaying the potential big kanto quake? or does it works that way?

so actually it might be safer to travel to japan sooner than later?
