Warning lifted after 50cm tsunami hits Hachijojima

A tsunami with a height of 50 centimeters was recorded in Yaini in Hachijojima on Tuesday morning after a 5.9-magnitude earthquake struck about 100 kilometers north of the volcanic island of Torishima, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.

A tsunami warning, warning of waves of up to one meter, was issued for the islands of Izu and Ogasawara after the quake, but it was lifted at 11 a.m. A lower-level advisory for the possibility of minor sea level changes remained in effect for the islands, as well as for areas along the Pacific coast from Chiba Prefecture to Okinawa.

The quake struck at 8:14 a.m. at a depth of 10 kilometers, but no areas registered shaking at the Shindo level 1 or higher on the Japanese seismic intensity scale. That's likely due to the quake's relatively low magnitude and its remote location, Shigeki Aoki of the Meteorological Agency said at a news conference Tuesday.

In addition to the tsunami recorded in Hachijojima, a tsunami with a height of 20 cm reached Kozue Port on Kozue Island, and waves with a height of 10 cm were reported in Tsubota and Ako on Miyake Island, as well as Okada on Izu Oshima.

Later Tuesday, Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshimasa Hayashi said the government had not received any reports of damage from the quake or tsunami.

The agency said it was still unclear whether Tuesday's quake was linked to the Sept. 19 eruption of Smith Island in the Izu island chain.

Earthquakes of magnitude 6.0 have occurred frequently near Torishima Island, including a magnitude 6.5 earthquake in 2023.

“Normally, if an earthquake is 5.9 magnitude, it is not on the scale that would cause a tsunami,” said Aoki of the agency.

“The area is very close to Smith Island,” where earthquakes of this magnitude have caused tsunamis in the past, he added.
