Aside from natural disasters, (almost?) anywhere is also more dangerous than Japan. Also, the expected length of a trip abroad is shorter. There are half as many vacation days as in many other countries. By the time you're done with flights and acclimated to the time difference, you need to start thinking about going back. This also makes the per-day cost of a trip high. After moving to Japan I've also become reluctant to travel!
