Magnitude 5.0 earthquake strikes near Ofunato, Ōfunato-shi, Iwate, Japan

An earthquake of magnitude 5.0 occurred only 7 minutes ago 77 km southeast of Ofunato, Japan, Japan’s National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED) reported.
The quake hit at a moderately shallow depth of 63.40 km beneath the epicenter near Ofunato, Ōfunato-shi, Iwate, Japan, around noon on Monday, October 13th, 2025, at 12:25 pm local time. 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.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 4.6 earthquake.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Ofunato (pop. 35,500) located 77 km from the epicenter, Rikuzen-Takata (pop. 18,300) 77 km away, Kamaishi (pop. 43,100) 87 km away, and Ishinomaki (pop. 138,500) 95 km away.
Other towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Ichinoseki (pop. 114,500) located 113 km from the epicenter.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow
