Tsunamis usually happened in areas that are close to the oceans. Islands like Japan tend to be susceptible to Tsunamis.

Anywhere with large amounts of water. Tsunami's happen when an earthquake occurs under or close to large bodies of water. The shudders cause huge waves to travel towards Coastlines. Places that are more earthquake prone are around the edges of continental plates.
