The Earthquake at the Western Part of Nagano Prefecture on September 14, 1984 with magnitude 6.8 on Richter scale occurred near Otaki Village in Kiso District(137.5°E,35.B°N). The earthquake caused the debris avalanches and the slope failures in a large scale. The present paper deals with dynamic characteristics of this earthquake and the damage to structures due to ground motion itself. Through the investigation of tombstone over/um and measurements of aftershocks and microtremors, the authors estimate the dynamic characteristics of mainshock and study the correlation between the damage to structures and characteristics of the ground motion.
