The Tokyo metropolitan administration ordered a study earlier last year to warn its citizens of the numerous risks that go along with these more powerful quakes. It discovered there was a 70% likelihood that greater Tokyo would see an earthquake of magnitude 7.3 before 2050

A 7.3-magnitude earthquake with a hypocenter exactly beneath the southernmost portion of metropolitan Tokyo would be the worst-case scenario. The metropolitan area is anticipated to sustain the most substantial damage. Expectd earthquake is predicted to destroy 194,431 structures and result in 6,148 fatalities. An estimated 2,990,000 people may need to be evacuated, according to estimates.

On September 1, 1923, around noon, the magnitude-7.9 Great Kanto earthquake struck beneath Oshima Island, about 62 miles (100 km) south of central Tokyo. Thousands of structures were destroyed. From that time forward Japan has been focusing on building structures to prevent such disaster.
