The area of intensity 5 upper (MMI 8) or greater is approx. 35, km 2. On soft soils, ground motion was stronger, which caused building damage. In Tokyo and Osaka which are far from the epicenter, long period ground motion and large response of high rise buildings were observed. The strong motion records of this earthquake are compared with those from other earthquakes of magnitude over 8. The acceleration level and spectral shape are similar to each other, but the ground motion duration of this earthquake is longer. 34
