Japan was shaken near Miyazaki, by an earthquake of magnitude 5.6 only 11 minutes ago, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 10. km beneath the epicenter near Miyazaki, Japan, early morning on Sunday, August 17th, 2025, at 6:13 am local time. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones as they are closer to the surface. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) which listed the quake at magnitude 5.4. A third agency, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, reported the same quake at magnitude 5.6.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should not have caused significant damage, other than objects falling from shelves, broken windows, etc.
In Takanabe (pop. 20,200) located 31 km from the epicenter, Kawaminami (pop. 15,400) 33 km away, Miyazaki (pop. 398,200) 35 km away, Saito (pop. 29,300) 37 km away, Tsuma (pop. 34,300) 38 km away, Hyuga (pop. 60,000) 50 km away, Nobeoka (pop. 119,500)
