The Meteorological Agency said the offshore quake struck about 230 miles below the sea surface.

The agency said there was no danger of a tsunami. There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

North eastern Japan was devastated by a massive earthquake and tsunami on March 11 that left nearly 20,000 people dead or missing.
