December 1854 CE

The 1854 Tōkai earthquake on December 23, 1854, which strikes primarily in the Tōkai region but destroys houses as far away as in Edo, closely follows the Great Nankaidō earthquakes and tsunamis.

The accompanying tsunami causes damage along the entire coast from the Bōsō Peninsula in modern-day Chiba Prefecture to Tosa Province (modern-day Kōchi Prefecture).
