Best Answer

The last major earthquake in Japan was the magnitude 9.1 earthquake that occurred at 2:46 PM Japan local time (05:46 UTC) on Friday 11 March 2011. The U.S. Geological Survey agency said this was the biggest quake to hit Japan since record-keeping began in the late 1800s and one of the biggest ever recorded in the world.

A timeline of events on March 11 and following days can be found here. More details of the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake can be found here.
