Is Distribution
Maximum Observed Is:4
Seismic Intensity (Is) distribution is estimated from the observed data (circles) of NIED K-NET, KiK-net, JMA, and local governments that had been collected by 2026/07/01 08:50:22.

The histogram shows frequency distribution of estimated Is derived from interpolation of the observation with 250-m mesh. The daytime and nighttime correspond to 9:00-18:59 and 19:00-8:59, respectively. The distance is measured from the epicenter to the center of the municipality.
