Have the Tokyo Big Sight and Makuhari Messe ever been subject to earthquakes? I'm wondering how they hold up if there's an exhibition going on in them.

?I do not understand a meaning of a question.

Tokyo BIC site and Makuhari Messe often experience an earthquake so that there is it in Kanto.

Both buildings resist an earthquake for the latest building.

But a building may be depressed by liquefaction so that both is built on a coastal line.

By Hanshin Awaji big earthquake, there is the example that a building of reclaimed land sank into the ground by liquefaction.

I went to the Makuhari Messe twice whilst in Japan, looks pretty sturdy to me.
