Earthquakes in Japan

The Hietsu earthquake was a doublet earthquake that took place on April 9, 1858. It most likely occurred on the Atotsugawa and Miboro faults, which connect the Amō Pass in Gifu Prefecture and Mount Tate in Toyama Prefecture on the island of Honshū in Japan. Its name includes one kanji from Hida (飛騨国) and one from Etchū (越中国). The earthquakes are estimated to have killed 200–300 people.
