A shallow magnitude 5.1 earthquake was reported around noon near Tahara, Tahara-shi, Aichi-ken, Japan.
According to France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS), the quake hit on Thursday, June 12th, 2025, at 12:49 pm local time at a shallow depth of 10. km. 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 Japan’s National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED) which listed the quake at magnitude 4.9. A third agency, the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, reported the same quake at magnitude 4.8.
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 Tahara (pop. 60,200) located 117 km from the epicenter, Hamamatsu (pop. 791,700) 119 km away, Iwata (pop. 88,500) 120 km away, Ise (pop. 123,500) 123 km away, and Toyohashi (pop. 377,500) 126 km away.
