Japan experiences many natural disasters
In Japan, a country prone to natural disasters, there exists a Building Standards Act designed to ensure homes are constructed to withstand such events.
Japan is susceptible to natural disasters such as fires, flooding, tsunamis, debris flows, volcanic activity, and earthquakes. Consequently, homes built to modern standards adhere to building regulations stricter than those in many other countries, ensuring greater resilience against disasters. While preserving Japan's heritage, even older homes must strictly adhere to building codes. Indeed, from a disaster resilience perspective, demolishing older houses and constructing new ones on the remaining land seems highly advantageous.
Human activities vary according to each nation's circumstances. It is important to recognise that Japan experiences such variations frequently before visiting the country.

自然災害が多い日本では、災害に強い家で暮らすことを目的とした建築基準法がある
日本は、火災、浸水、津波、土石流、火山、地震などの自然災害に見舞われやすく、他の国以上の建築基準法で災害に強い家が現代にかけて建っています。古き日本を残すと同時に、古い家でも建築基準法の厳守が求められ、一層のこと、古い家を取り壊し、残された土地で新築を建てるのが災害から守る観点から、すごく都合が良いのではないだろうか
人の営みは、世界各国の事情により変化するが、日本はそのようなことが多いことを日本に来る前に気づいてほしいものです
