The quake hit at an intermediate to considerable depth of 156.7 km beneath the epicenter near Kagoshima, Kagoshima Shi, Japan, in the evening on Friday, April 29th, 2022, at 8:23 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. A second report was later issued by the European-Mediterranean Seismological Centre (EMSC), which listed it as a magnitude 4.4 earthquake. Towns or cities near the epicenter where the quake might have been felt as very weak shaking include Makurazaki (pop. 25,000) located 16 km from the epicenter, Ibusuki (pop. 29,700) 28 km away, Kaseda-shirakame (pop. 23,700) 32 km away, Tarumizu (pop. 19,100) 49 km away, Kagoshima (pop. 555,400) 51 km away, Kanoya (pop. 82,300) 53 km away, Sendai (pop. 73,100) 76 km away, and Miyakonojō (pop. 131,000) 93 km away.
