Japan was shaken near Hachinohe, Hachinohe Shi, Aomori, by an earthquake of magnitude 6.4 only 10 minutes ago, the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC) reported.
The quake hit at a shallow depth of 18. km beneath the epicenter near Hachinohe, Hachinohe Shi, Aomori, Japan, in the morning on Tuesday, December 9th, 2025, at 7:52 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 Geoscience Australia (GeoAu) which listed the quake at magnitude 6.6. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 6.1, France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) at magnitude 6.5, and the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 6.1.
Generally quakes of this magnitude are recorded by more than one agency and the results can vary, with subsequent reports that come in after the first one often showing more accuracy.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake was probably felt by many people in the area of the epicenter. It should
