The 2011 Nagano earthquake (長野県北部地震, Nagano-ken Hokubu Jishin) was an earthquake that occurred near the border between Niigata and Nagano prefectures at 3:59 JST on March 12, 2011. The depth of the hypocenter was 8 km and magnitude of the earthquake was MJMA 6.7.
The strongest shaking was felt in Sakae, Nagano, where a maximum JMA intensity of shindo 6+ was recorded. Thus, damage due to the earthquake was concentrated in Sakae, and so the earthquake is also called the Sakae earthquake (栄村大震災, Sakae-mura Daishinsai). Three people were killed.
