Just 17 minutes ago, a 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck near Yamada, Shimohei-gun, Iwate, Japan. The tremor was recorded early morning on Tuesday, November 4th, 2025, at 5:16 am local time, at a shallow depth of 20. km below the surface.
The event was filed by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), the first seismological agency to report it.
Our monitoring service identified a second report from Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency which listed the quake at magnitude 5.1. Other agencies reporting the same quake include the citizen-seismograph network of RaspberryShake at magnitude 5.4, the German Research Centre for Geosciences (GFZ) at magnitude 5.4, France’s Réseau National de Surveillance Sismique (RéNaSS) at magnitude 5.2, and Japan’s National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED) at magnitude 5.7.
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 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 Yamada (pop. 15,200) located 130 km from the epicenter, Miyako (pop. 51,200) 133 km away, and Kamaishi (pop. 43,100) 137 km away.
