After a 7.1-magnitude earthquake occurred off the coast of Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan on the 8th, the Japan Meteorological Agency issued a warning message, warning that the possibility of a major earthquake in the Nankai Trough in the Pacific Ocean east of Japan has increased, and called on the public to be vigilant and prepared for the next week or so. This is the first "super-large earthquake warning" ever issued by the Japan Meteorological Agency. Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida announced on the 9th that he would urgently cancel his overseas visit plan.
Due to concerns about the possibility of a major earthquake, Japanese people rushed to buy first aid kits and daily necessities on the 10th. Jimu News reporters contacted international students in three places in Japan, namely Tokyo, Fukuoka and Osaka.
Xiao Yang is a junior international student who is studying Japanese in Tokyo. After the earthquake warning was issued, he found that the Japanese were also preparing very seriously, so he also stockpiled some supplies. According to him, the speed of the Shinkansen has been limited.
Xiaokang, who is studying in Fukuoka Prefecture, Japan, was on a bus when the earthquake hit Miyazaki Prefecture on the 8th. Xiaokang recalled: "When the earthquake happened, my phone suddenly sounded an earthquake alarm, and there was some confusion on the bus, but the driver was relatively calm and did not slow down. Maybe he was used to it."
