a Map showing the location of the Kinki region within the islands of Japan. b Topographic map of the Kinki region. Black and white bars show the principal strain rate axes (black bars: compression, white bars: extension) (Sagiya et al. 2000). Blue dashed lines indicate the compressional stress trajectories (Ukawa 1982). c The distribution of permanent (black triangles) and temporary stations (red triangles) deployed in the Kinki region. Red lines in b represent active faults (Research Group for Active Faults of Japan 1991), thick, gray-shaded line shows the inferred location of the Niigata-Kobe Tectonic Zone (NKTZ). Also shown here is the location of the Median Tectonic Line (MTL)
