In 2023, there were 60 persons wounded or killed due to earthquakes in Japan. The number of persons injured or killed by earthquakes peaked in 2011, with around 29 thousand people. In that year, the Great East Japan Earthquake, also known as Tohoku Earthquake, occurred. This was the most powerful earthquake ever recorded in Japan and caused a tsunami that led to the meltdown of three reactors in the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant. The damage caused by surging water was more destructive than the earthquake, as it destroyed many Japanese cities.
