I hope it never happens, but word from my friends in Tokyo is that they have no idea where to go in such cases. A city of 20 million citizen can't exactly all get on trains/planes/bues/cars and leave,... does the government of Tokyo (or the Japanese central government) have a plan(A, B, C, or D)?
They have evacuation areas in Tokyo and there are regular drills in which they use these evacuation areas with route maps. The tokyo government has a plan in mind, but it will definitely be structured in a way that all people don't head for the same exit at once.

Sanosuke!
