It depends what country it is. If the area is near the edge of a tectonic plate then earthquakes are more likely to happen because occasionally the plates crash together, which creates earthquakes! :)
it would be san francisco because it is directley on the eoicenter

The famous 1906 San Francisco Earthquake was very big....
There are fault lines in those areas, and when the earth's plates move, they cause earthquakes. There are two fault lines in San Francisco, but I do not know how much in Japan.
It led to geological studies that have proven that the Andreas fault line is certain to cause periodic earthquakes such as the one in San Francisco in 1989. What it did was cause architects and engineers to build buildings that can withstand certain levels of earthquakes. Earth movements in California are common. No major earthquakes have happened in the last few decades. However, as in 1906, the earth has demonstrated that havoc can happen at any time in the future.
Eureka, L.A., San Jose and San Francisco have many earthquakes.

San Francisco has suffered two notable earthquakes. One in 1906 and the other (the Loma Prieta earthquake) in 1989.
Because it is built near to a fault line.

San Francisco has two teams - the San Francisco Giants (baseball) and the San Francisco 49ers (football). Other local teams include the San Jose Sharks (hockey), the Golden State Warriors (basketball), the Oakland Raiders (football), the Oakland Atheltics (baseball), and the San Jose Earthquakes (soccer).
San Francisco experienced major earthquakes in 1906 and 1989. The 1906 earthquake, known as the Great San Francisco earthquake, caused widespread destruction, while the 1989 earthquake, known as the Loma Prieta earthquake, occurred during the World Series and caused structural damage.
