Japan is on high alert as government officials warn of an imminent "Nankai Trough megaquake" that could killnearly 300,000 people.
A recent seismic risk assessment puts the probability of a magnitude 8+ earthquake at 75–82% within the next 30 years.
The quake would likely be followed by devastating tsunamis.
The undersea Nankai Trough has a long history of producing catastrophic seismic events every 100–200 years—the last occurred in 1946.
Public fears intensified after a 1999 manga by famed clairvoyant Ryo Tatsuki resurfaced, eerily predicting a massive rupture between Japan and the Philippines.
The Japan Meteorological Agency has dismissed such claims as unscientific, yet growing panic has led to travel cancellations.
Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba has rolled out a new national plan to bolster infrastructure and emergency response, urging citizens to brace for a worst-case scenario.
The looming danger poses one of the gravest threats to Japan’s national security in decades.
