The quake hit at a shallow depth of 20. km beneath the epicenter near Sagamihara, Kanagawa, Japan, late at night on Friday, June 26th, 2026, at 10:28 pm local time. The exact magnitude, epicenter, and depth of the quake might be revised within the next few hours or minutes as seismologists review data and refine their calculations, or as other agencies issue their report. Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should have been widely felt by almost everyone in the area of the epicenter. It might have caused light to moderate damage. Moderate shaking probably occurred in Sagamihara (pop. 720,800) located 16 km from the epicenter. In Akiruno (pop. 81,900) located 22 km from the epicenter, Aihara (pop. 725,500) 22 km away, Hachioji (pop. 579,400) 24 km away, Hadano (pop. 163,800) 27 km away, Ome (pop. 133,500) 27 km away, Isehara (pop. 103,400) 30 km away, Kofu (pop. 189,600) 47 km away, Yokohama (pop. 3,777,500) 55 km away, and Tokyo (pop. 9,733,300) 57 km away, the quake should have been felt as light shaking.
