An earthquake of magnitude 7.3 struck Saturday morning off Japan's east coast, the U.S. Geological Survey said. Japan's emergency agencies declared a tsunami warning for the area.
Japan's Meteorological Agency raised the tsunami warning for the area of Honshu. But the U.S. Pacific Tsunami Warning Center did not post warnings for the rest of the Pacific.
The quake hit at 2:10 a.m. Saturday Tokyo time (1710 GMT), the USGS said.
The tremor was felt in Tokyo, some 300 miles (480 kilometers) away.
