The earthquake that occurred in Japan started at 2:47 pm (PST) on March 11, 2011.
The earthquake in Japan lasted about 3-5 minutes.
The earthquake that hit Japan in 2011 is commonly known as the Great East Japan Earthquake, or the Tohoku earthquake and tsunami. It occurred on March 11, 2011, and had a magnitude of 9.0, triggering a devastating tsunami.
There were over 16,000 deaths in Japan's major 2011 earthquake.
The 2011 Japan earthquake, also known as the Great East Japan Earthquake, was triggered by a sudden slip along a subduction zone where the Pacific Plate is forced beneath the North American Plate. This movement caused a massive release of energy, generating the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that devastated much of eastern Japan.

JAPAN
It depends on the earthquake you are talking about. Many have occurred in Japan. The most recent is the 2011 earthquake.
The 2011 Japan earthquake, also known as the Great East Japan Earthquake, was triggered by a sudden slip along a subduction zone where the Pacific Plate is forced beneath the North American Plate. This movement caused a massive release of energy, generating the earthquake and subsequent tsunami that devastated much of eastern Japan.
The Japan tsunami in 2011 was triggered by a massive undersea earthquake off the northeastern coast of Japan. The earthquake, with a magnitude of 9.0, caused the seafloor to uplift, displacing a large volume of water and generating the tsunami that struck the coast.
