No. It is only one of many times that an earthquake and tsunami have hit Japan. Earthquakes in subduction zones such as the one of the coast of Japan often trigger tsunamis. The March 2011 earthquake, at magnitude 9.0, was the strongest on record in Japan though.
Why does Japan get tsunamis?
Japan lies directly on the edge on a region most geologists call "The Ring of Fire" where most seismic and volcanic activity occur. Earthquakes trigger tsunamis so when there's an enormous earthquake out in the middle of the Pacific Ocean, Japan usually gets hit, along with Hawaii. +++ The Pacific Ring of Fire is actually most of the ocean's coasts - the American as well as Asian. The earthquakes occur below the continental shelves, so off-shore, but not in mid-ocean.
