A 5.4 magnitude earthquake has hit central Japan, injuring several people and causing cracks in a 16th-century samurai castle listed as a national treasure.
The quake hit at 8.16am local time today with the shallow focus located in Nagano prefecture, some 180km north-west of Tokyo, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
It was followed by smaller aftershocks.
The tremor damaged Matsumoto Castle in Nagano, causing cracks in the inner walls of a tower built in the late 16th century, according to a municipal official.
Television footage showed fallen concrete bricks and roof tiles in the area.
Public broadcaster NHK said the morning tremor injured nine people, including a woman who fell off her bed.

WASHINGTON: A powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake shook Alaska's remote Aleutian Islands late Thursday, but US officials did not issue a tsunami warning for the Pacific Ocean.
There were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
The quake on the Fox Islands -- 101 miles (163 km) east of the tiny fishing port of Atka -- stuck at 6:09 pm local time (0309 GMT), the US Geological Survey said in a statement.
The Pacific Tsunami Warning Center, based in Hawaii, said there was "no current warning, watch, or advisory" after the quake, which struck more than 1,000 miles (1,600 kilometers) west of the major Alaskan city of Anchorage.
Tsunami warning cancelled for Alaska
June 24, 2011 - 3:14PM
A local tsunami warning for coastal areas of Alaska has been cancelled.
The West Coast and Alaska Tsunami Warning Center posted a tsunami warning for certain coastal areas of Alaska after a major earthquake struck off the Aleutian Islands on Thursday night (Friday afternoon AEST), but cancelled the warning about 8.30pm Alaskan time (1430 AEST).
The warning had covered an area from 130 kilometres northeast of Dutch Harbor to about 200 kilometres west of Adak.
In Dutch Harbor, longshoreman Jim Paulin said warning sirens caused hundreds of people to begin climbing up a nearby hill.
The US Geological Survey said the 7.2 magnitude earthquake struck off the Fox Islands - 163 kilometres east of the tiny fishing port of Atka - at 6.09pm local time on Thursday (1309 AEST Friday).
The Fox Islands are an eastern group of the Aleutian Islands, off southwestern Alaska.
The Alaska Earthquake Information Center said the quake was felt through the central Aleutians and as far east as Dutch Harbor and Unalaska.
There were no immediate reports of damage.

Kenangan Itu
Salam,
Kenangan itu sentiasa bermain difikiran saya. Sesungguhnya saya rasa takut. Betul, ajal maut seseorang itu tidak akan dilewatkan walaupun sesaat. Bersediakan saya?
Gegaran Lagi
Salam,
Semalam 14 Jun 2011 Malaysia dikejutkan dengan gegaran-gegaran kecil yang boleh dirasai di Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur, Putrajaya , Melaka, Perak ,Negeri Sembilan dan beberapa tempat di Selangor. Gegaran ini akibat berlaku gempa bumi berskala rendah 5 - 6 Magnitud di Sumatera Utara.
Agaknya bagaimana jika berlaku gempa berskala tinggi seperti yang berlaku di Jepun dan New Zealand baru-baru ini.
Bagi sesiapa yang pernah merasai gegaran gempa ini tentu ada rasa insaf dihati bertapa kerdil dan lemahnya kita disisi Allah Taala. Moga kita sentiasa dijauhkan daripada bala bencana walau dimana kita berada. Sentiasalah muhasabah diri.
