It’s July 4. Why I’m sleeping onshore the next few days #july5prediction #japan #islandlife

It’s not because it’s July 4th that I’m staying on shore — I’m Canadian. But something curious is happening here in Japan. Tourists are cancelling their trips because of a decades-old manga prediction about a disaster on July 5th — and oddly enough, that prediction points to the very region I’m in: Amami Islands and Tokara. Combine that with a swarm of recent tremors and a potential typhoon next week, and… well, I’ve decided to sleep onshore for a few nights. No panic. No drama. Just Japan, being Japan: always prepared. Sharing this not to alarm, but to answer those who've asked if I'm okay. I am. Still afloat, still curious, still listening. 🎥 Watch till the end for what locals do when warnings come. #islandlife #japan #july5thprediction
