To understand the tectono-seismic evolution of faults in the shallow part of a subduction–accretion system, we examined major faults in a fossil accretionary prism, the Emi Group (Hota Group), Boso Peninsula, Japan, by performing multiple structural, geochemical, and mineralogical analyses. Because the strata are relatively shallow (burial depth, 1–4 km), early stage deformation related to subduction, accretion, and uplifting processes is well preserved in three dominant fault zones. On the basis of both previous findings and our geochemical and mineralogical results, we inferred that early stage faulting in a near-trench setting under high pore fluid pressure and second stage faulting at relatively deep along subduction corresponded to aseismic deformations, as shown by velocity strengthening characteristics; and during late stage faulting, probably in association with accretion and uplift processes, a high-temperature fluid, revealed by a geochemical temperature proxy, triggered fault weakening by a thermal pressurization mechanism, and potentially led to the generation of a tsunami.
