Tatsuki has warned that ‘a crack will open up under the seabed between Japan and the Philippines, sending ashore waves three times as tall as those from the Tohoku earthquake’, CNN reports.
In the best-selling book, it also details Japan’s oceans ‘boiling’, which some have interpreted to be a sign of pending a volcanic eruption from underwater.
The disaster is drawn to have its epicenter as a diamond-shaped region that links Japan, Indonesia, Taiwan and the Northern Mariana Islands, says The Macao News.
As a result of Tatsuki’s prediction, people are reportedly canceling their trips to Japan our of fear of being there when the disaster hits.
Speaking to CNN, CN Yuen, managing director of WWPKG, a travel agency based in Hong Kong, explained that bookings to Japan dropped by 50 percent over the Easter break — a figure that’s expected to drop even further over the next couple of months.
People’s concerns were further exacerbated when the Chinese embassy in Tokyo issued a warning about natural disasters in Japan last month.
In its warning, the embassy told those who were living in or planning on travel to Japan to take extra precautions against natural disasters, South China Morning Post reported.
