USGS has it as:

MAP 6.2 2011/04/11 23:08:16 35.406 140.542 13.1 NEAR THE EAST COAST OF HONSHU, JAPAN

Location has it just East of Tokyo [offshore]

Very shallow. If it would have been over Magnitude 7.0, could have spawned a tsunami.

This quake was much closer to Tokyo than it was to the Fukushima Prefecture...

Prayers out for the people there. They can’t seem to catch a break.

That one was 6 hours ago. I have the impression that Ronin is talking about one that just happened.

I am basing on what I can see from NHK now.

Yep. NHK still calling it 6.0, north of Fukushima, felt about a 3.5 here in West Tokyo.

You are correct. USGS has posted the most recent one:

MAP 6.0 2011/04/12 05:07:42 37.112 140.578 10.6 EASTERN HONSHU, JAPAN

Appears to be just west of Iwaki, Japan, and South of Fukushima and North of Mito [bisecting a line almost between Mito and Fukushima]
