According to The United States Geological survey, the origin time for the first (8.9 magnitude) earthquake in Japan was 2:46PM JST, and 12:46AM ET.
The tsunami hit Japan at approximately at 3:00pm local time of japan
The magnitude 9.0 earthquake off the coast of Japan occurred on March 11, 2011 at 05:46:23 (UTC) or 2:46:23 PM (local time) at the epicenter. The tsunami occurred shortly after that.
The tsunami hit Japan about 30 minutes after the earthquake on March 11, 2011. The earthquake's epicenter was off the east coast of Japan, generating a large tsunami that caused widespread devastation along the country's coastline.
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.
In the case of the 2011 tsunami in Japan, the warning issued for the earthquake that triggered the tsunami was approximately eight minutes. This short warning time made it challenging for people to evacuate in time, leading to significant devastation.

There is evidence in the sediment on the U.S. west coast and there are records of a tsunami hitting Japan during that time as well.
At the time it was overcast. Some areas were experiencing rain or snow. The tsunami was not related to the weather, but was instead the result of an earthquake.
