The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) said Wednesday that the tsunami caused by strong quake off Chile could reach Japanese coasts early Thursday morning.
The JMA said the first wave is expected to arrive at the Pacific coast of Hokkaido, and that the agency plans to announce latest information late Wednesday based on observation data, Xinhua reported.
