  • General Catalog of Data Collected on the Matsushiro Earthquake Swarm

    Materials list at the Matsushiro earthquake center is open to the public.

  • High Sensitivity Seismograph Network Japan (Hi-net)

    Hi-net is an observation network composed of high-sensitivity seismographs deployed at approximately 800 locations nationwide. The sensor is installed at the base of the borehole deeper than 100m. Hi-net is capable of detecting seismic motions that are too weak to be felt by people.
