Japan gets tons of earthquakes, about one every year, because of Japan's position. Japan sits on a subduction zone, meaning plates slide under another causing friction and earthquakes. Sometimes, Japan will get a tsunami caused by their frequent earthquakes.

Why are there so many earthquakes in Asia?
All earthquakes are caused by plate tectonics, that is the movement of the different plates that make up the surface of our earth. Earthquakes occur at the boundaries between these plates, (there are 7 plates), when the plates "bump" up against one another or separate enough. The place where these incident occur are called "fault lines". There are two major fault lines in close proximity to the nation of China, and the activity in these fault lines occasionally coincide, giving the illusion of high activity. The reality is that earthquakes in China are no more frequent than in other areas where plate tectonics occur around the globe.
