The correct Date of the original earthquake was March 9th not 11th.
The aftershocks are still continuing. Even today (Monday, March 14, 2011) a 6.2 aftershock has hit Tokyo, and there are fears that aftershocks as large as a 7.0 could still hit.
Note:
6.2 and 7.0 in their own right are earthquakes, but because they came after the upgraded 9.0, they are classed as aftershocks.
At this moment no-one has released a time for the first aftershock there have been over 275 of magnitude 5 or over.
The earliest reference I can find for an aftershcok would be at a 6.1 at 3.15 am local time on the 10th of March followed by two more.
Additionally
On March 11 alone, there were 200+ aftershocks immediatelyy following the 9.0 earthquake. From the 9.0 magnitude earthquake on Friday March 11 05:46:23 UTC until March 31 midnight there were approximately 2,806 earthquakes ranging in magnitude 3.9 through 7.0.

Do small tremors occur after an earthquake?
An earthquake is caused by 'plates' in the ground shifting and moving. and after a major shift there might be a small aftershock witch is when the 'plates' in the ground move slightly as they are going back into place
How soon after an Earthquake will an aftershock usually take place?
Aftershocks can occur immediately after the main earthquake or can be delayed by hours, days, or even weeks. However, most aftershocks typically occur within hours to days after the main event. The frequency and intensity of aftershocks gradually decrease over time.
What is the chance of another earthquake happening in Japan?
Earthquakes in Japan are very common. Like in Minnesota, some earthquakes are so small, they cant feel them! If you mean the chances of a catastrophic earthquake, not very high. The big earthquake that just happened recently was the 4th biggest earthquake in RECORDED JAPAN HISTORY. which should tell you how low the chance is. But if you mean the chances of a small one, still not very high, but higher than a catasrtrophic one. Japan has earthquakes a lot, and i went to Tokyo a few weeks ago, and i was there for about a week. up until the big earthquake (which was 2 days before my birthday), there werent any. But after the big one, the aftershocks were non-stop. the chance of aftershocks(which are smaller earthquakes after a regular one) are very high, especially after a catastrophic one. But dont fret- as long as you get to a safe place- like under a table or stand in a doorway- you should be just fine. Japan is a BEAUTIFUL country, and i would move there in a heartbeat!
