A powerful earthquake hits the Tokyo area, but officials say there is no immediate danger of a tsunami.
The earthquake registers a 6.1 on the Richter Scale, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.
In 2011, a powerful earthquake and tsunami in Japan led three nuclear reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi plant to melt down, in the worst nuclear disaster since Chernobyl in 1986.
