Keywords:the 2014 Northern Nagano earthquake, hot spring water discharge, coseismic hydrological change

On November 22, 2014, the Mw6.2 (Mj6.7) earthquake occurred in the northern part of Nagano Prefecture. Next morning, an anomalous discharge of hot spring water and gas was found in 8 km north of the epicenter. As the result of our survey on December 2, the water temperature was 26.4 degree-C, and the flow rate was 75 L/min. The major chemical composition of hot spring water and gas were sodium bicarbonate and methane, respectively.
