Just 8 minutes ago, a 5.4-magnitude earthquake struck near Shizunai-furukawacho, Hidaka-gun, Hokkaido, Japan. The tremor was recorded early morning on Friday, May 23rd, 2025, at 6:27 am local time, at a shallow depth of 10. km below the surface.
The event was filed by France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS), the first seismological agency to report it.
A second report was later issued by the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake, which listed it as a magnitude 5.6 earthquake. A third agency, Japan’s National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED), reported the same quake at magnitude 5.7.
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 Shizunai-furukawacho (pop. 22,400) located 33 km from the epicenter, Niikappu (pop. 5,700) 35 km away, Urakawa (pop. 12,800) 42 km away, and Monbetsu-honcho (pop. 11,300) 52 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Tomakomai (pop. 174,800) located 88 km from the epicenter, Shiraoi (pop. 17,800) 96 km away, Chitose (pop. 98,000) 102 km away, and Muroran (pop. 96,200) 112 km away.
