The earthquake originated in the western part of Shizuoka prefecture at a depth of about 40 kilometers (25 miles), according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.
The quake was the most severe in about three decades to hit Aichi.
No abnormalities were detected at the Hamaoka nuclear power plant in Shizuoka, according to its operator, Chubu Electric Power Co.
The quake forced authorities to suspend some local train services.
