Doomsday bunkers being built in Japan amid increased fear of war
Views (92)
Underground homes that provide shelter for apocalyptic scenarios — primarily a nuclear fallout — are now being built in Japan, with one non-profit organization spearheading the effort. Why they’re doing it: Japan’s interest in fallout bunkers reportedly grew last year as its neighbor North Korea continued to refine its ballistic missiles and Russia threatened to use nuclear weapons against Ukraine. To top it all, Japan is the only country on Earth to ever experience a nuclear attack, the catastrophic effects of which have continued to linger for decades.

Features: The model bunker was reportedly built with specifications similar to those legally required in Switzerland. According to the organization, the 48-square-meter structure — with a living space of 25.6 square meters — can house four adults, three children and one pet for up to two weeks.
It features a blast-proof door with a thickness of 200 millimeters, an air filtration system and a portable toilet. It can withstand a bombing similar to Hiroshima and Nagasaki if it is constructed at least a kilometer from the center, the organization said.
