Intensity 7 (震度7, Shindo-nana) is the highest level on the JMA seismic intensity scale, applied to earthquakes with an instrumental intensity (計測震度) of 6.5 or higher. [6] At Intensity 7, movement becomes nearly impossible without external support. [ 11 ]
Japan had experienced 900 aftershocks after the M9.1 earthquake on March 11, 2011 with about 60 aftershocks being over magnitude 6.0 and three over magnitude 7.0. For conciseness, only earthquakes with magnitudes greater than 7.0 or an intensity greater than lower-6 on the shindo scale are listed here.

This earthquake occurred on Dec. 7, 1944, at 13:35 local time (04:35 UTC). Its moment magnitude was 8.1 and it was felt with a maximum intensity of 5 on the Shindo scale (or VII, "Severe", on the Mercalli intensity scale). It struck the provinces along the coast of the Tōkai region, causing serious damage and triggering a tsunami.
This is the Shindo module. Named after the Japanese term used for classifying earthquakes 震度 (しんど), this module provides utility for seismic intensity scales. Seismic intensity data generated on Module:Shindo/data. Messages on Module:Shindo/messages.
In Japan, for shallow (depth < 60 km) earthquakes within 600 km, the Japanese Meteorological Agency calculates [2] a magnitude labeled MJMA, M JMA, or M J. (These should not be confused with moment magnitudes JMA calculates, which are labeled M w (JMA) or M (JMA), nor with the Shindo intensity scale.)
Studies have shown that earthquakes occurred in 1910, 1974, 1981, 1982, and 2000 in the region. Among them, the 7.1 M j 1982 earthquake off the coast of Urakawa was the largest earthquake in the history of the region. The earthquake caused casualties and damage in Tomakomai and Sapporo. [9] There are many volcanoes located near the earthquake's ...
A second earthquake occurred at 18:11, [6] 16 minutes after the first. This one, at a much shallower depth, had a shindo intensity of 6+ and a magnitude of 5.9. A third, at 18:34, had a shindo intensity of 6−. At 19:45, [7] another intensity 6− earthquake occurred. Intervening and subsequent earthquakes of lesser intensity also shook the ...
