While browsing around the web, I found a number of
references to a proposed impact structure in Japan,
which has not been added to the official list of
terrestrial impact structures.

1. Miura, Y., 2002, Impact Structure in Japan.

Session No. 239 Impact Stratigraphy, Denver,
Colorado.

It is called the "Takamatsu MKT crater" and is located
in Busshozan Takamatsu, Kagawa Prefecture, Japan. It
has a "4-km diameter geophysical signature" and a
"8-km semi-circular structure."
