The Intensity 7 (震度7, Shindo 7) is the maximum intensity in the Japan Meteorological Agency seismic intensity scale, covering earthquakes with an instrumental intensity (計測震度) of 6.5 and up. [15] At Intensity 7, it becomes impossible to move at will. [13] The intensity was created following the 1948 Fukui earthquake.
List of earthquakes in Japan. "Japanese earthquake" redirects here. For the 11 March 2011 earthquake in the Tōhoku region, see 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami. Earthquakes M5.5+ around Japan (1900–2016) M7.0–7.9=163 EQs, M8.0+=14 EQs. [1] This is a list of earthquakes in Japan with either a magnitude greater than or equal to 7.0 or ...
The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) officially named this earthquake the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake (Japanese: 令和6年能登半島地震, Hepburn: Reiwa 6-nen Noto-hantō Jishin). [7] It led to Japan's first major tsunami warning since the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake , [ 8 ] and a tsunami of 6.58 m (22 ft) was measured along the Sea of ...
Following the earthquake, the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) issued a 'Nankai Trough Earthquake Extra Information' advisory [23] that the probability of a megathrust earthquake along the Nankai Trough increased from a 0.1% per week to 1% chance [24] in what was the first advisory of its kind but clarified that it was not imminent.

The Great Hanshin Earthquake occurred on January 17, 1995, at 05:46:53 JST (January 16 at 20:46:53 UTC) in the southern part of Hyōgo Prefecture, Japan, including the region known as Hanshin. It measured 6.9 on the moment magnitude scale and had a maximum intensity of 7 on the JMA Seismic Intensity Scale (XI–XII on the Modified Mercalli ...
The 2000 Izu Islands earthquakes is an earthquake swarm that occurred around Miyake-jima, Kōzu-shima, and Nii-jima in the Izu Islands after 26 June 2000. The largest earthquake was M w 6.5, and six earthquakes with a maximum JMA seismic intensity of Shindo 6-and Modified Mercalli intensity of VI–VII, resulting in a large-scale earthquake swarm.
The JMA announced the Earthquake Early Warning hit (accuracy) rate for the 2011 fiscal year on 31 May 2012. The hit rate is the percentage of warnings issued immediately on the detection of P-waves with a Japan Meteorological Agency seismic intensity scale (震度, shindo) number (0 to 7) within one shindo number of the measured earthquake.
