![]() ![]() My Facebook wall was filled with comments about the incident as well. ![]() I’m very glad that it was just a big mistake.ĭespite being a false alarm, everyone’s mobile phones went off with emergency alerts, some trains and school elevators were stopped and even Yahoo Japan temporarily went off. Thank God, it could have been a scary big earthquake and I wouldn’t have wanted that (of course!). However, when I went online afterward to learn more about the quake, I found that it was originally reported that a 7.8 earthquake hit in Nara, but turned out to be a false alarm. Yet, I didn’t really care or get worried when I got them because the messages didn’t seem all that serious. On Augon the LINE social network, I received a few messages from my younger brother and sister talking about an earthquake in Nara. To say the least, it is a very special place to me. My parents still live there and so do many of my friends. Nara is such a beautiful place filled with lots of memories from childhood to the springtime of my life. When I was five, my family moved from Osaka to a rural town in Nara prefecture, and I lived there until my second year of university. To me, Nara is a place that is dear to my heart. It’s well known for the Nara Shika (deer) Park, UNESCO World Heritage Site Todaiji Temple (Eastern Great temple), the Nara Daibutsu (Nara’s giant Buddha statue), and maybe (in)famously for Sento-kun, Nara’s super creepy mascot, as well. Nara is a landlocked prefecture in the Kansai/Kinki region of Japan on Honshu Island. ![]()
