Are natural disasters common in Japan?

Answer 1

Japan is near the Pacific Ocean so Japan is experiencing such calamities like typhoons or hurricanes, tidal waves and Japan is also in the Pacific Ring of Fire so earthquakes are possible anytime.

Answer 2

Earthquakes are the most common natural disaster in Japan. Japan has continuous earthquake activity because of it's position. It sits on a subduction zone, which is where one plate is being forced beneath another. It is also at the meeting point of two pieces of the giant Pacific plate, which are moving in different directions along side each other. In Japan, hardly a day will go by without an earthquake. Most of these earthquakes are very minor, though every year there are a few that are strong.

Answer 3
