This earthquake caused a seismic intensity of 4 to be detected in the eastern region of Hokkaido. The seismic intensity, classified by the Japan Meteorological Agency, is a relative concept that indicates the degree of shaking felt by people or the movement of surrounding objects in the affected area, unlike magnitude which represents the absolute strength. A seismic intensity of 4 corresponds to shaking strong enough to startle most people and cause ceiling-hung lights to swing significantly.
