NOS – Earthquake Epicenter off the Coast of Japan

A regional map of East Asia highlights Japan and its surrounding waters, including the Sea of Japan and the Pacific Ocean. A red target symbol marks the earthquake epicenter off the northeastern coast of Japan, east of the main island. Nearby cities such as Sapporo, Sendai, Tokyo, and Osaka are labeled. South Korea and North Korea appear to the west across the Sea of Japan. An inset globe in the lower-right corner shows Japan’s location within the wider Asia-Pacific region, outlined in red. The visual is designed to provide quick geographic context for seismic activity and potential tsunami risk.
