On the J map (just given) go to the northern island of Hokkaido. see the orange line (highway) running through the second "K" in Hokkaido. Trace that down to the end of the peninsula due south. Then, go offshore a couple of 50 to 100 miles. That is the epicenter.

So what -- no one lives in Hokkaido? We could be worried for their safety. An 8.0 is a monster of an earthquake.
