The Japanese coast has been hit by small tsunami waves a day after an 8.3 magnitude earthquake hit Chilean capital Santiago.
According to ABC News, the Japan Meteorological Agency said a wave of 80 centimeters (31 inches) was recorded at the port of Kuji in Iwate Prefecture, part of the same northeast region that was hit by a much larger and deadly tsunami in March 2011.
No injury or damages have been reported from the waves, but some coastal towns have issued evacuation advisories as a precautionary step.
