An exceptionally large earthquake was predicted for Japan yesterday.
The Japanese government plans to remove the warning issued a week ago about a very strong earthquake.
The warning prompted thousands of Japanese to cancel their vacations and hoard food from stores.
The Japan Meteorological Agency said last week that the risk of a very strong earthquake is higher than normal.
Last week, fifteen people were injured in a 7.1-magnitude earthquake that hit the southern part of the country.
The Japanese government has previously stated that there is a 70 percent chance of a very strong earthquake occurring in Japan in the next 30 years.
