The Nankai Trough is a subduction zone located off the coast of Japan, where the Philippine Sea Plate slides beneath the Eurasian Plate. This tectonic activity can lead to significant earthquakes. For instance, the 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan was a result of similar tectonic shifts. Increased...
In the Nankai Trough subduction zone off southwestern Japan, where the Philippine Sea plate subducts northwestward beneath the Amur continental plate, many great earthquakes, with moment magnitude (Mw) ~ 8 or larger, are attested in human records (Earthquake Research Committee2013). These large...

The occurrence of the next Nankai Trough earthquake will initially be observed by high-sensitivity geophysical monitoring networks, such as Hi-net1, GEONET2, DONET3, and GPS-A4,5. Various precursory phenomena are expected to appear before this occurrence. Possible candidates6,7,8,9,10include, ...
The Nankai Trough region has a history of devastating earthquakes. The Hyuga-nada region is situated in the westernmost Nankai Trough and has not experienced an earthquake exceeding magnitude 8. It is expected that there is a difference in a coupling between the subducting Philippine Sea Plate and...
Mechanically coupled areas are identified on the plate interface in the Nankai trough A possible scenario for a megathrust earthquake after an afterslip of a foreshock is proposed based on the coupling distribution Plain Language Summary The driving force that generates huge earthquakes originates from...

(JUIDA), recently participated in Nankai Rescue 2024, a disaster response training exercise organized by the Japan Ground Self-Defense Force's Middle Army, conducted in preparation for the occurrence of a major earthquake in the Nankai Trough.(Note1) Training exercises were conducted using unmanned...
The Nankai Trough is well known as the mega thrust earthquake generating tsunamis, with the interval of 100–200 years. The 1944 Tonankai and the 1946 Nankai earthquakes around the Nankai trough, each hypocenter was located off the Kii peninsula. However, according to Prof. Okamura of KOCHI Un...
Case study was performed into mitigation of seashore protection facilities in Kobe city against a huge earthquake such as Naikai-Trough earhquake. First, the deformation of the facilities when subjected to strong motion was estimated by means of dynamic effective stress analysis as well as an equi...
