We systematically investigated triggered tremor in northern Kii and western Shikoku, at 71 teleseismic earthquakes by applying a matched filter technique. We detected 9 and 17 events of triggered tremor in northern Kii and western Shikoku, respectively. In addition, we observed tremor migration episodes, whose directions were always along-dip. In northern Kii, seven episodes showed downward migration at a speed of 5\u201320 km\/hr. In western Shikoku, six episodes migrated at a speed of 10\u2013100 km\/hr, in which five episodes showed upward migration. Migration of the triggered tremor suggests that dynamic stress perturbation from distant earthquakes may trigger propagating creep events caused by fluid.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1961\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1961\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/05\/1.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-1961 size-medium\" src=\"http:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/05\/1-300x117.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"117\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/05\/1-300x117.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/05\/1-768x299.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/05\/1-500x195.jpg 500w, https:\/\/www.eri.u-tokyo.ac.jp\/en\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/2\/2018\/05\/1.jpg 987w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-1961\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Waveforms and spatiotemporal distribution of detected triggered tremor in northern Kii for the 2007 Kuril earthquake (Mw 8.1).
