What the record holds

The deadliest of them was an estimated magnitude 8.4 on October 28, 1707 (Nankaido), for which NOAA records 5,000 deaths. NOAA’s list of significant earthquakes has 13 here, back to AD 684. NOAA records deaths in 9 of the events here, 15,537 in all. The latest on NOAA’s list is a magnitude 6.8 on March 24, 2001 (16 km SSW of Kure, Japan). NOAA’s record here begins on November 29, 684 with an earthquake. It grows thinner going back: 4 of the 13 significant earthquakes NOAA lists here are from 1927 on. NOAA lists 12 tsunamis from elsewhere that reached the coast within 100 km of Shinagawa with deaths or a metre of water or more. The highest water NOAA records here was 28 m, on December 24, 1854. The deadliest here came on October 28, 1707 from a magnitude 8.4 earthquake (Nankaido): NOAA’s runup records count 1,704 deaths within 100 km of Shinagawa.

Good to know

  • An event counts for Shinagawa when it began within 100 km of its centre, or 200 km for an earthquake of magnitude 7 or more. Damage can reach further.
  • USGS counts here start at magnitude 6: the catalogue’s smaller quakes thin out going back, where few instruments listened.
  • NOAA lists significant events only: earthquakes that killed, did about $1 million of damage, reached magnitude 7.5 or intensity X, or raised a tsunami, and eruptions and tsunamis by like measures. Magnitudes before 1900 are its estimates from written accounts.
  • Deaths are NOAA’s total for each event, wherever people died, its tsunami and fires included. A tsunami counts the dead its runup records give for this place: NOAA’s total for a tsunami includes its source quake’s.
  • A tsunami from elsewhere counts where one of its runups killed or rose a metre or more.
  • Counted to October 19, 2026, as is the map. The last 30 days ask USGS again.
