Many take shelter in Tokyo

The earthquake caused train service to be suspended across Tokyo. Many people had to seek shelter in various facilities, including schools, community halls and sports centers.

Government ministries and agencies in central Tokyo have also been opened as shelters, among them an auditorium and 9 job-placement offices.

On top of that, some restaurants and commercial buildings have voluntarily made their facilities available.

People who wanted to get home formed long lines at stations in central Tokyo to take a taxi or bus.

Bus companies increased their service and continued operation until late into the night. Some railways that resumed their services also extended their hours.
