A three-dimensional shear velocity structure beneath the Japan Islands and the Sea of Japan have been investigated by applying an inversion technique developed by Aki and others. The obtained structure has been compared with the three-dimensional compressional velocity structure obtained earlier to discuss the internal physical properties and tectonics of the downgoing Pacific plate and the surrounding upper mantle. The results show that high shear velocity (VS) anomalies generally coincide well with high compressional velocity (VP) anomalies, where there are high seismic activities of intermediate and deep-focus earthquakes. The descending Pacific plate down to 450km and the inner low-V zone extending under the Sea of Japan to southwest Japan have been well revealed by the S-wave observations as in the previous results from P-waves. The highest VS anomalies within the plate are 6-8% (50-250km), 5% (350km) and 2-3% (450km), which are somewhat greater than the corresponding VP anomalies. The inner low VS anomalies are -2--4%, which also somewhat stronger than the VP anomalies. The velocity contrasts of both VS and VP between the plate and the inner low-V zone require large temperature differences and
