(Dan Tri) – Although the Japanese government has advised people to go to solid buildings or go underground to ensure safety when North Korea launches missiles, reality shows that Japanese people still do not know how to run.

“Hide in sturdy buildings or go underground” is one of the pieces of advice the Japanese government gives its people when encountering a missile launch from North Korea.

However, there are two main problems currently arising when following the above recommendations: most houses in Japan are made from wood and do not have basements, in addition, rural areas

In less than a month, North Korea launched two missiles that flew over Japanese territory, of which the missile tested on the morning of September 15 was also the farthest missile ever launched by the country.

“The government advised us to seek shelter in sturdy buildings or underground, but there aren’t any such buildings here,” said sushi chef Isamu Oya, 67, who manages a restaurant in

“We have no choice but to do nothing.

Ms. Machiko Watanabe, 66 years old, said that fear of the threat from North Korea is always present in her `every day`.

“I don’t think there’s any way to protect yourself.

Coping plan

Compared to the South Korean people, who have been accustomed to North Korea’s threats of attack for decades, the Japanese people are very afraid of Pyongyang’s missiles.

Results of a survey released by Japan’s NHK television channel last week showed that more than 52% of Japanese respondents said they were `very worried` about the threat from North Korean missiles.

In the context of North Korea continuously launching ballistic missiles and nuclear tests recently, the need to build shelters in Japan has also begun to skyrocket.

`With the current situation in North Korea, people still don’t know where to run,` said Nobuko Oribe, a leader at Oribe Seiki Seisakusho company.

In fact, the current demand for bunkers in Japan comes mainly from families building new houses or from small business owners who want to build bunkers for employees in areas near factories or offices.

However, building shelters still has some shortcomings and this is not considered a solution applicable to the majority.
