The earthquake was centered near the Fukushima Prefecture, which suffered the deadly quake and tsunami on March 11, 2011.
No injuries were reported and damage was apparently very minor.
Travel by air and train was delayed while runways and rail lines were checked to ensure they were not damaged.
Officials believe that this was an after shock to the previous quake, which registered as a 9.0.
Aftershocks can happen for years, after a large quake.
