We considered the possibility of earthquake observation by smartphones that people have on a daily basis. A hands- on experiment was conducted using “Jishin the Vuton”. At that time, Experienced person experienced the seismic motion with the “Jishin the Vuton” with three smartphones, one in my neck strap, one in my pocket, and one I held in my hand. We examined and considered the records obtained. After filtering the obtained records, we calculated the maximum value and the instrumental seismic intensity. We found that the value observed with a smartphone was slightly larger than the value we experienced. It was found that there is a possibility that the numerical value reflects the actual shaking.
