These prefectures are located inside a very large graben. Most quakes inside this feature have been very deep not nearly as shallow as this swarm.
Secondly, those quakes that were shallow could be attributed to the regions volcanics, which includes the MT ASO caldera which is a hot spot that rivals Iceland's and our very own Yellowstone.
The fact that there is lineal migration to the north certainly makes me think something other than tectonic.

Yeah they evacuated over 200k people from the area. Though of course some of that was do to damage, a solid reason for that massive of an evac has to be the volcano risk.

The fault is behaving like any crack in a solid, after an earthquake releases the strain on one part of the fault then all of the force exerted on the two plates shifts to the next “stuck” area along the fault an that will be the next to go.

For those like me who don’t know the term “graben”:
In geology, a graben is a depressed block of land bordered by parallel faults.
