A moderately shallow magnitude 4.9 earthquake was reported early evening near Anjo, Anjō-shi, Aichi-ken, Japan.
According to Japan’s National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED), the quake hit on Tuesday, April 8th, 2025, at 7:26 pm local time at a moderately shallow depth of 35.50 km. 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 Anjo (pop. 188,700) located 4 km from the epicenter, Okazaki (pop. 384,700) 6 km away, Nishio (pop. 170,000) 9 km away, Chiryu (pop. 72,200) 10 km away, Kariya (pop. 153,800) 12 km away, Handa (pop. 117,900) 16 km away, Toyota (pop. 426,200) 17 km away, and Nagoya (pop. 2,332,200) 33 km away.
VolcanoDiscovery will automatically update magnitude and depth if these change and follow up if other significant news about the quake become available. If you’re in
