Magnitude 5.1 earthquake strikes near Miyako, Miyako Shi, Iwate, Japan Just 7 minutes ago, a 5.1-magnitude earthquake struck near Miyako, Miyako Shi, Iwate, Japan. The tremor was recorded early morning on Wednesday, February 25th, 2026, at 3:16 am local time, at a moderately shallow depth of 53.50 km below the surface.
The event was filed by Japan's National Research Institute for Earth Science and Disaster Resilience (NIED), the first seismological agency to report it.
Based on the preliminary seismic data, the quake should not have caused any significant damage, but was probably felt by many people as light vibration in the area of the epicenter.
Weak shaking might have been felt in Yamada (pop. 15,200) located 12 km from the epicenter, Miyako (pop. 51,200) 13 km away, Kamaishi (pop. 43,100) 34 km away, Ofunato (pop. 35,500) 60 km away, Morioka (pop. 290,700) 78 km away, Hanamaki (pop. 94,700) 81 km away, Kitakami (pop. 93,000) 85 km away, and Oshu (pop. 112,900) 88 km away.
