At around 3:52 a.m. on the 2nd, an earthquake with a seismic intensity of 4 was observed in Hokkaido.

There may be some slight changes in the tide level due to this earthquake, but there is no concern about tsunami damage.

The towns that observed a seismic intensity of 4 were Taiki and Urahoro in Hokkaido.

We also observed tremors with a seismic intensity of 3 in Kushiro City, Obihiro City, Atsuma Town, Abira Town, Mukawa Town, Biratori Town, Niikappu Town, Urakawa Town, Erimo Town, Shinhidaka Town, Otofuke Town, Hiroo Town, Makubetsu Town, and other areas.

According to the Japan Meteorological Agency, the epicenter was off the coast of Tokachi, the depth of the hypocenter was very shallow, and the magnitude of the earthquake was 6.

It is estimated to be 3.

There may be slight changes in sea level along the Pacific coast of Hokkaido and in Iwate Prefecture due to this earthquake, but there is no concern about tsunami damage.

Class 1 long-period ground motion observed: In the earthquake that occurred off the coast of Tokachi, Hokkaido, at around 3:52 a.m. on the 2nd, Class 1 long-period ground motion, which is a long and slow shaking, was observed in some parts of Hokkaido.

Of the four seismic intensity levels, the smallest, Level 1, was observed in Obihiro City, Tomakomai City, Atsuma Town, Urakawa Town, and also in Shinhidaka Town.

Long-period ground motions are large, slow tremors with periods exceeding 2 seconds that occur during large-scale earthquakes, and they particularly affect high-rise buildings.

The Japan Meteorological Agency describes a level 1 tremor as a somewhat strong shaking, which is felt by most people inside tall buildings, and hanging objects such as blinds sway significantly.
