  • Tsunami Source Consideration of the 1662 Hyuga-Nada Earthquake Occurred Off Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan

Tsunami source consideration of the 1662 Hyuga-nada earthquake occurred off Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan Kei Ioki1, Yusuke Yamashita2, and Yoshihiro Kase3 1Geological Survey of Japan, National Institute of Advanced Industrial Science and Technology, Japan ([email protected]) 2Miyazaki Observatory, Disaster Prevention Research Institute, Kyoto University, Japan ([email protected]) 3Geological Survey of Hokkaido, Hokkaido Research Organization, Japan ([email protected]) Hyuga-nada region is located at the south-western part of Nankai Trough, in the Pacific Ocean. M7-class interplate earthquakes are repeatedly occurred by the subducting Philippine Sea plate beneath the Eurasian plate. The largest earthquake in this area was the 1662 Hyuga-nada earthquake (M=7.6) which occurred off Miyazaki Prefecture, south-eastern area of Kyushu region, Japan, and generated tsunami (after called the 1662 tsunami). Strong ground motion hit and many structures were broken near the coast of Miyazaki Prefecture. The tsunami heights were estimated at least 4-5 m along the coast of Miyazaki city, and more than 200 people died by the earthquake and tsunami by historical records. This region is also active area of the shallow slow earthquakes. The 1662 tsunami was much larger than tsunamis generated by usual M7-class interplate earthquakes. It is known by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake that focal area of shallow slow earthquakes also become a tsunami source area. So, we hypothesized that the 1662 unusual large tsunami was caused by the coseismically slipping of focal area of shallow slow earthquakes.

City Miyakonojo A digital version can be downloaded from City Mimata Town the website of the Miyazaki International Nichinan City Foundation (https://www.mif.or.jp). Kushima City ※This pamphlet has been updated from the previous version published in 2012. When a disaster happens, the first thing you should do is PROTECT YOURSELF. Miyazaki Prefecture, and Japan as a whole, is well-known for its beautiful natural scenery. However, it is also prone to frequent natural disasters. In response to the increased number of natural disasters occurring in recent years, a number of strategies to cope with and prepare for a natural disaster have been put in place. The most important thing when thinking about what to do if a disaster strikes is “self-preservation” – everyone should take care to protect themselves first in the event of a disaster. In this pamphlet, we will give you some information on how to prepare for natural disasters. ※ The information written in this pamphlet is considered to be the bare minimum of information necessary to educate people about natural disasters. It is very important for everyone to seriously consider what kind of natural disasters may occur in their surrounding area and take every action possible to lessen the potential damage in such an event.

    －News Release－ 25th of March 2013 Japan Asia Group Limited Project financing secured for 5 JAG solar plants in Hokkaido Japan Asia Group (JAG)1, a leading solar and green community developer, both in Japan and overseas, has secured project financing for five solar photovoltaic power plants, estimated total generation capacity of 5.5 megawatts, which are to be developed by group company JAG Energy in eastern Hokkaido, the northernmost island in Japan. The project financing, approximately 1.6 billion yen for construction costs, is being arranged by the Shinsei Bank Ltd.2 Mitsubishi UFJ Lease & Finance Group3 will also provide part of this financing. JAG Energy started constructing the five solar power plants, in Kushiro and Tokachi districts of Hokkaido, in September 2012 and they will start coming on line from March 2013. Once fully operational, all of the generated electricity will be purchased by the Hokkaido Electric Power Company at a contracted fixed price for a set period of 20 years under the Act on Special Measures Concerning Procurement of Renewable Energy Sourced Electricity by Electric Utilities (the law which introduced Japan’s feed-in tariff system and came into effect in July 2012). Japan Asia Group has extensive experience developing and operating large-scale solar photovoltaic (PV) power plants, starting in Europe with 24 plants in four countries, and the Miyazaki SolarWay in Tsuno Town, Miyazaki Prefecture, Japan. The five solar plants to be constructed by JAG Energy in Kushiro and Tokachi districts have been judged by Shinsei Bank to be of sufficient economic feasibility based on several factors including that this area of Hokkaido has relatively long sunlight hours and has low snowfall.
