It depends on the earthquake you are talking about. Many have occurred in Japan. The most recent is the 2011 earthquake.
In Japan on March 11th, 2011 a 8.9 earthquake struck. Many people died. The earthquake led to a massive tsunami that covered part of Japan. Not a lot of people evacuated and many died from that too. After that, 2 nuclear power plants blew up.
Japan was effected strongly by the earthquake that hit Japan on the 11th of March 2011. Many lives, jobs, buildings and homes were lost. A tsunami also occurred because of the earthquake. Nuclear power plants suffered from leakage, and the radiation still needs to be completely cleaned up.

On March 11, 2011 in Japan they had an earthquake and a tsunami. A magnitude 9.0 earthquake rocked Japan at 2:46 p.m. local time followed by many aftershocks. The major earthquake struck about 15 miles. Also because of the earthquake and the aftershocks a tsunami was set off. The earthquake occurred off the coast of Honshu. It was the strongest earthquake to ever hit Japan. It was one of the top five largest recorded earthquakes in the world. The waves of the tsunami were as high as 35 feet. This was reported in several different Northern regions of Japan. There were 8,649 people who were confirmed dead, 21,911 people who are still missing till this day. There were 19 aftershocks reported
The March 2011 earthquake and tsunami in Japan left around 6,000 people injured and hundreds of thousands homeless. The disaster also caused widespread destruction and triggered a nuclear accident at the Fukushima Daiichi power plant.
First reason the "earthquake" in Japan on March 11, 2011 so was deadly because it was preceded and followed by many other earthquakes nearly equally as damaging. On Thursday March 10 a series of aftershocks rattled Japan (including a magnitude 6.6 quake) after the magnitude 7.3 quake hit the northeastern Honshu island March 9, said the Japan Meteorological Agency. On March 11 alone, there were 200+ aftershocks. From the 9.0 magnitude earthquake on Friday March 11 05:46:23 UTC until March 31 midnight there were approximately 2,806 earthquakes ranging in magnitude 3.9 through 7.9. Second, the large 9.0 earthquake triggered the massive tsunami that devastated large parts of the Japan coast.
