In 2011, following the
Great East Japan Earthquake, Japan's Ministry of Internal Affairs
and Communications convened a study group composed of the major mobile
providers and decided to fortify battery backup for 2,000 locations
across the country. Battery backup time was increased to 24 hours for
these locations, which are mainly city halls and prefecture
headquarters.
The
most recent large earthquake (magnitude 7.0) in Japan happened 1 kilometer west-southwest of Kumamoto City. The screenshot below is from Softbank Mobile's site. The Kumamoto City Hall and Prefecture office locations are highlighted in red.

Those locations are listed on each provider's site. Here is an
example (in Japanese).
