Tokyo, swaying buildings in the capital, but no tsunami warning was
issued.
The quake hit at 8:23 pm (1123 GMT), at a depth of 39 kilometres (24 miles), off the east coast of Honshu, Japan, the US Geological Survey said.

There were no immediate reports of damage after the quake, a relatively rare strong tremor to hit the capital.
Residents in part of the Chiba region outside Tokyo reported strong tremors, with some saying the shaking had knocked objects from shelves, but there were no immediate injuries reported.
