The most recent disaster in Japan was the 9.0 magnitude earthquake and resulting tsunami, which has killed over 15,000 people with as many left missing.

Japan is on the "Ring of Fire", and routinely experiences strong earthquakes; it is also subject to periodic tropical storms and typhoons. And it is a string of volcanic islands; it's not uncommon for some of those volcanoes to erupt.
