The Japanese government ordered an emergency inspection of schools across the country today after four people were killed in the Osaka earthquake, two of them due to collapsing walls.
More than 370 people were injured in western Japan when a magnitude 6,1 earthquake struck Osaka on Monday morning, Japanese authorities said.
The earthquake also damaged many buildings and disrupted traffic.
Nine-year-old Rina Miyake was killed outside her school in the city of Takatsuki, raising concerns about the school's walls and prompting authorities to request security checks.
An 80-year-old man also died when a wall collapsed due to the earthquake.
Japan has more than 100 volcanoes and is located in a part of the Pacific Ocean known as the Pacific Ring of Fire due to frequent earthquakes.
