Japan has lifted a tsunami warning for its northeastern coast nearly four hours after a powerful offshore earthquake.

A tsunami advisory for waves of up to 1 meter remains in place for much of the Pacific coast.

The earlier warning was for waves of up to 3 meters. The Japan Meteorological Agency had urged residents to flee quickly to higher ground.

The largest wave recorded was 1.4 meters at Sendai Bay.
