Japan on Saturday experienced a strong earthquake that shook buildings in the capital, Tokyo, and caused a tsunami advisory for the country's northeast coast. The country's meteorological agency lifted the tsunami advisory warning around an hour after the earthquake. The magnitude 7.2 earthquake struck near the east coast of Honshu, the GFZ German Research Centre for Geosciences said. Japan public broadcaster NHK warned residents a tsunami of one metre was expected for Miyagi Prefecture. 'The tide will continue to be fast, so please do not enter the sea or approach the coast until the warning is cleared.'
