A shallow magnitude 2.3 earthquake was reported early in the morning near Odawara, Odawara-shi, Kanagawa, Japan.
According to the citizen-seismograph network RaspberryShake, the quake struck on Wednesday, October 21st, 2026, at 2:40 am local time at a shallow depth of 10. km. Shallow earthquakes are felt more strongly than deeper ones because 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 the data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their reports.
Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Hakone (pop. 11,300), located 3 km from the epicenter. In Yugawara (pop. 23,400, 8 km away), Susono (pop. 51,200, 9 km away), Mishima (pop. 107,900, 12 km away), Gotemba (pop. 86,600, 14 km away), Odawara (pop. 188,900, 16 km away), Numazu (pop. 189,500, 16 km away), and Minamiashigara (pop. 40,800, 17 km away), the quake was probably not felt.
