Detailed tomographic images of the collision zone between the northern edge of the Philippine Sea and the Eurasian plates reveal a high correlation between tectonic features inferred from seismicity and P- and S-wave velocity structures. The linear tomographic inversion covered a 150 × 150 × 60 km region in the South Fossa Magna centered on the northern Izu Peninsula. Thirty-three three-component stations were located in the target region and 3823 high-quality earthquakes were selected from the catalogues of the NRIESDP, giving rise to 53,593 P- and 50,059 S-wave phase arrivals used in the inversion. The model was parameterized by 60 × 60 × 10 rectilinear blocks, measuring 2.5 km per side horizontally and 5–10 km varying thicknesses in depth. Three-dimensional perturbations from the one-dimensional, NRIESDP, layered model were derived by minimizing the squared misfit of the travel-time residuals. Regularization was employed to reduce the effects of noisy data by constraining the two-dimensional Laplacian of the model, within horizontal layers, to be small. The large sparse matrix was solved using the conjugate gradient algorithm LSQR. Reduction of misfit was 50% for the P-wave inversion and 57% for the S-wave inversion.There is a high correlation between the P- and S-wave inversions. Between 5–15 km depth both 3D images indicate low velocity anomalies trending northward in the west along the Fujikawa, from Suruga Bay to northwest of Mt. Fuji. North of Izu Peninsula there is a broad high-velocity zone. These results correlate with Bouguer gravity anomalies previously observed. Starting at 5 km depth, a high-velocity, northeast-dipping anomaly beneath Sagami Bay is inferred to be the shallow subducting PHS plate. To the north, a high-velocity zone in the vicinity of the East Yamanashi seismic swarm (15–32 km depth) is clearly observed on the P-wave inversion and to a lesser extent on the S-wave inversion. Because of the high seismicity in this region, we speculate this is the zone where the PHS plate is grazing the EUR plate to the northwest, and the high-velocity anomaly represents a large-scale asperity. To the west, below thMt. Fuji area, a broad low velocity is observed between 15 and 32 km depth. We interpret the deep, low-velocity structure, which exhibits little seismicity, to be either the subduction of the volcanic arc, or a region of elevated temperature associated with hot rising magma. Near the swarm area on the eastern edge of Izu Peninsula, low-velocity anomalies are observed near the surface on both P- and S-wave inversions. Along the eastern part of Izu Peninsula a prominent low-velocity anomaly is observed between 10 and 20 km on the S-wave image but is less pronounced on the P-wave inversion.
