Japanese officials have released AI-generated videos simulating a potential eruption of Mount Fuji. The videos, unveiled this week for Volcanic Disaster Preparedness Day, show smoke and ash affecting Tokyo, about 60 miles away.

I think there are some other areas that have a lot more to worry about than Tokyo. I don't remember for sure, but I think the expected path this time would be north in Yamanashi (I looked into what predictions were when I was house-hunting a few years ago).
I'm shocked that this is news to anyone. Most schools send kids to a disaster prep field trip at least once where they would cover all this stuff. I guess maybe some part of Japan doesn't talk about it, but there have definitely been TV shows about it, even in the decade I've been living here.
