A 5.3 magnitude quake shook Tokyo and other eastern Japanese cities today, the US Geological Survey (USGS) said, but there were no immediate reports of damage or injuries.
Buildings in the capital shook, but public transport and traffic continued unaffected.
The quake hit at 10.56am (1256 AEDT) 107 kilometres southeast of the capital beneath the Pacific Ocean, some 35.6 kilometres deep, USGS said.
The Japan Meteorological Agency, which measured the quake at 5.2, said there was "no tsunami threat".
Tectonics experts have warned of a 70 per cent chance that the "Big One" - a magnitude-seven earthquake or worse - will strike the greater Tokyo region, home to around 35 million people, within the next 30 years.
