TOKYO — The first tsunami waves, some more than a meter high, arrived on the north coast of central Japan on Monday after a series of powerful earthquakes rocked the region.

Waves as high as 1.2 meters (four feet) hit Wajima port in Ishikawa prefecture at 4:21 pm (0721 GMT), the Japan Meteorological Agency said, after the US Geological Survey and other agencies registered a major 7.5 magnitude quake little more than 10 minutes earlier.
