On November 9, 2025, Japan was jolted by a formidable 6.8 magnitude earthquake off the eastern coast of Honshu, near Iwate Prefecture, at a shallow depth of just 10 km. This seismic event, which hit at approximately 5:03 p.m. local time, prompted immediate tsunami advisories for coastal areas, urging evacuations to higher ground as waves up to 1 meter were forecasted. No major casualties have been reported yet, but multiple aftershocks – including a 5.5 and 5.7 magnitude – have kept residents on high alert, testing the nation's world-class disaster infrastructure once again. H2: What Happened? Epicenter, Intensity, and Immediate Response
The quake's epicenter was 126 km east of Yamada in Iwate, registering Shindo 4 intensity in Morioka and Yahaba – strong enough to sway buildings but not cause widespread collapse. Japan's Meteorological Agency (JMA) swiftly activated alerts, while the USGS confirmed the event's power, highlighting its proximity to the 2011 Tohoku disaster zone. Evacuation efforts are underway, with authorities emphasizing preparedness in this tectonically active region.H2: Potential Impacts and Safety Tips for Travelers
