At least 20 people were injured after a 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck central Japan early on Sunday, local media reported.
Kyodo News reported injuries in Aichi and Shizuoka prefectures, citing local authorities.
No tsunami warning was issued.
The earthquake originated in the western part of Shizuoka prefecture at a depth of about 40 kilometres (25 miles), according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.
The quake was the strongest to hit Aichi in about three decades.
No abnormalities were detected at the Hamaoka nuclear power plant in Shizuoka, according to its operator, Chubu Electric Power Co.
The quake forced authorities to suspend some local train services.
A 4.3 magnitude earthquake hit the Kumamoto prefecture in southwestern Japan on Sunday morning.
Japan, which sits on the Pacific Ring of Fire and directly atop four major tectonic plates, is one of the most seismically active countries in the world.
