A powerful earthquake that hit north-east Japan left at least two people dead and 160 injured, officials said, but caused relatively minor damage.
Two million homes initially lost power and a bullet train was derailed, but none of its passengers were hurt.
The Japan Meteorological Agency lifted a tsunami warning on Thursday morning.
The magnitude 7.4 quake was in the same area as the one which caused the 2011 Fukushima nuclear disaster but it was not damaged this time, officials said.
In some areas the earthquake was too forceful for people to stand, and buildings rattled in the capital Tokyo.
