@Vo Yes, a lot. All their buildings are built with that in mind. Smaller buildings are built so their walls can flex and towers and skyscrapers are built on standoffs with a hanging ball or rod in the middle that counteracts the movement from the earthquake.
I dunno what specifically they do to tunnels to make them more sturdy though. They probably just pick paths where the rock is unlikely to move.
They also have a shitton of earthquake sensors everywhere so the trains stop before the earthquake hits.

After Oshamambe there's Uchiu Tunnel (内浦トンネル), Konbu Tunnel (昆布トンネル), Miyada Tunnel (宮田トンネル) and Niseko Tunnel (ニセコトンネル)

The Hokkaido shinkansen is pretty crazy. It's basically just tunnels.
All this is just going to be a tunnel

@beardalaxy Fish can contain bacteria and parasites too. I believe they rapidly freeze it below 0C to kill them, without that freezing it's better to cook it

@sun How was is? I would assume it must be kinda tough

@alyx Yes, but it's not that much and if I remember correctly it's only the second snowfall this winter
