Yep earthquakes are basically non-existent in these parts so it’s not a factor, I think the Japanese have a bunch of techniques for concrete buildings that survive earthquakes and special building codes so the structure can move etc. Older roofs are definitely a problem here as well but if it’s less than like 10/20 years old then it’ll also have all the good insulation stuff.
Yeah concrete holds up very well with modern construction thankfully. But our building codes don’t have shit on the Japanese. Their earthquake resistance is magic to me
