About this data

Figures come from the US Geological Survey real-time feed — automatic solutions published within minutes and refined by analysts. The official source for Japan is JMA (jma.go.jp), whose denser local network may list additional small events or slightly different magnitudes.

This page records earthquakes after they happen and is not an early-warning system. For warnings and safety guidance, follow JMA (jma.go.jp) and your civil protection authority.
