Japan Ends Megaquake Warning After Week of No Abnormal Seismic Activity

The advisory, issued after a magnitude 7.1 quake, heightened public alertness but did not lead to further seismic events.

Japan's government lifted the 'megaquake' advisory, allowing citizens to resume normal activities.
The warning followed a 7.1 magnitude earthquake near the Nankai Trough, a high-risk seismic zone.
Authorities emphasized that while the advisory is lifted, the long-term risk of a major earthquake remains.
Precautionary measures included reduced train speeds and canceled trips, impacting daily life and travel plans.
Experts estimate a 70%-80% chance of a significant Nankai Trough quake within the next 30 years.
