Japan issues first 'megaquake' warning after 7.1-magnitude temblor
Thursday morning's earthquake occurred off the coast of Miyazaki Prefecture at 4:42 p.m. local time (3:42 a.m. ET), at a depth of about 18 miles, according to the Japan Meteorological Age
The meteorological agency ultimately issued what it called a "mega earthquake caution," assessing that the possibility of a large quake was relatively higher than usual but not that one would definitely occur in the near future.

How nice that Japan issues a warning to their people. USGS never does.....which makes me miss Jim Berkland.

Thanks Dee!!! See my post on dream board from July 2021. This Nankai
Trough is in my “dream” area.

The earthquakes occur with a return period of about 90–
200 years, and often occur in pairs, where a rupture
along one part of the fault is followed by a rupture
elsewhere on the fault, notably the 1854 Ansei-Tōkai
earthquake and the 1854 Ansei-Nankai earthquake the
next day, and the 1944 Tōnankai earthquake, followed by
the 1946 Nankaidō earthquake. In one recorded case (the
1707 Hōei earthquake) the fault ruptured along its
entire length. All of these great earthquakes have
resulted in damaging tsunamis, which are particularly
damaging due to the Japanese population being
concentrated on the Taiheiyō Belt, especially the
coastal cities of Tokyo, Yokohama and Osaka, the three
most populous cities in Japan. The area remains
seismically active, and future earthquakes are
anticipated, with a high risk of a Nankai earthquake in
the near future, which could be potentially very
damaging.

The Hyūga Sea is located at the southwestern end of the
Nankai Trough, an active subduction zone. The Nankai
Trough represents the plate boundary where the
Philippine Sea Plate subducts beneath the Eurasian
Plate. The area is associated with large earthquakes in
1968 (Mw 7.5) and 1996 (Mw 6.7 and 6.8). The Hyūga Sea
is interpreted as a transition zone between the highly
coupled Nankai Trough in the northeast and weakly
coupled Ryukyu Trench further southwest.[2] The 1968 and
1996 earthquakes were subduction zone events occurring
on the plate boundary. About 2 km (1.2 mi) beneath the
seafloor, low-frequency earthquakes occur near the
shallow subduction interface. Beneath the east coast of
Kyushu, on the deeper part of the subduction zone, slow
slip events were detected between 1996 and 2017.
A tsunami advisory was issued after the earthquake. It
covered Kōchi, Ehime, Oita, Miyazaki and Kagoshima
Prefectures[6] and predicted waves of up to 3.3 feet.[7]
Tsunami waves measuring 50 cm (1.6 ft) were subsequently
observed in Miyazaki, while waves measuring 20 cm (0.66
ft) were observed in Kōchi.[6]
