Shortly after 1 a.m. on November 8, a magnitude 5.7 earthquake struck central Japan, registering a maximum seismic intensity of upper 5 on a scale of up to 7 in western Aichi Prefecture.

A video of the moment the quake hit shows items falling from shelves at a residence in the city of Chita which had the largest shaking.

In the city of Toyohashi in Aichi Prefecture, glass spanning roughly 10 meters was shattered at a car dealership, where workers were busy cleaning up in the morning.

According to the Aichi prefectural government, eight buildings, including homes and public facilities, sustained damage such as partial destruction.

Authorities say 22 people were injured in Aichi and Shizuoka prefectures, including one seriously hurt.

Rail services, including the JR Tokaido Shinkansen bullet trains, were suspended but have since resumed operations.

The Japan Meteorological Agency is urging people in the hardest-hit areas to remain alert for earthquakes of a similar intensity for about a week.
