You may have heard about the 6.8 earthquake here in Japan yesterday. It was located off the coast near Tokyo. We left that city by train in late morning so did not feel the tremor. We are in Osaka, and doing fine.
We saw reports on the TV last night before bed saying there had been an earthquake but no other details were given in English. All the other information was in Japanese. We asked the hotel staff and were told it occurred in the north, near Tokyo.
The Narita International airport near Tokyo that we flew into when arriving in Japan was briefly closed as well as some trains, but are running now.
