There were no immediate reports of damage and no tsunami alert was issued following the quake, which was centred in Ibaraki prefecture north of Tokyo, although some bullet trains were halted, public broadcaster NHK said.

A Japan Atomic Power official said the plant has been shut for scheduled maintenance.
