While earthquake insurance and home insurance may seem similar, they have significant differences. earthquake insurance covers damages caused by earthquakes, including fire and tsunami due to earthquakes. Home insurance not only covers the building but also the contents inside. Additionally, the coverage of home insurance is not limited to earthquakes; depending on the policy, it may include fire and theft.

Mandatory Earthquake Insurance, being a compulsory type of insurance, can only be canceled under exceptional circumstances. These circumstances include mistakenly including an area in the insurance or mistakenly insuring a region. In such cases, the entire premium may be refunded to the insured, allowing for cancellation.
