Japan's prime minister says the 8.9-magnitude quake caused "major damage" in northeastern Japan.
But Naoto Kan said nuclear power facilities in the area were not damaged and there was no radiation leakage.
The offshore quake Friday triggered a tsunami that hit Japan's northeastern coast, sweeping away buildings and cars.
The government's top spokesman, Yukio Edano, said that the country was sending troops to the quake-hit area to join relief efforts.
