As an island country, Japan has a relatively warm climate and very good scenery, which is very suitable for playing and relaxing. I believe many people who have traveled to Japan have heard of such an unwritten rule. When you see someone running with an orange flag on the street in Japan, you must follow them at once. This is not a joke for the tour guide, but to ensure your life safety, so you must abide by it.
The reason for this is that although Japan has beautiful scenery and pleasant climate, as an island country, there are many volcanoes and frequent activities on the island. In addition, Japan is at the boundary of plate transformation, which makes Japan a country with frequent earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. I believe you may often hear the news about natural disasters in Japan, so in order to avoid the losses caused by similar natural disasters in Japan, relevant training and hedging measures are in place.
This orange flag is one of the hedging measures. I believe that when you listen to the weather forecast, as long as you hear orange, you will understand that this means that the next weather may not be very good. The Japanese flag is very similar to this one. Whenever an earthquake or natural disaster comes, there will be special people running in the street with orange flags to warn people that an earthquake is coming.
In order to better protect your personal safety, the tour guide told you this before going out, so be sure to follow the advice of the tour guide. In this case, follow the person with the orange flag in time, so that you can have a better travel experience and protect your personal safety.
