Source is believed 80km(50mi) below ground, max acceleration was Shindo 5+. So far no reports of deaths / major fire / building collapses. No fear of tsunamis[1]. Worst coming in are some cupboard toppling over an elder citizen and a child. Trains are resuming. Runway inspection is underway in Haneda(Tokyo) airport, Narita is operating normally[2].
