The quake struck at around 8:29 am (2329 GMT Monday) with a focus located off the Tokai region, some 300 kilometres (185 miles) southwest of Tokyo.

There was no danger of tsunami tidal waves, the agency said.

Police in Wakayama and Shizuoka, prefectures most badly shaken by the quake, said they had no immediate reports of damage or injuries.

Two strong quakes measuring 6.9 and 7.4 on the Richter scale shook the same area within five hours of each other on Sunday, setting off tidal waves. More than 40 people were injured but there was no major damage.
