Focal mechanism solutions of earthquakes in the western Kanagawa area are compiled and characteristics of fault types in the Izu collision zone are discussed. Reverse, strike-slip, and oblique fault mechanisms are seen in the Izu collision zone. Although only about 10 per cent of micro- and small earthquakes, are associated with strike-slip fault mechanisms, the largest and the second largest earthquakes (M 6.0 and M 5.6) are of that type. It was found that the direction of the P axis is somewhat different in the western and eastern Tanzawa areas : in western Tanzawa the average direction of the P axis is NW-SE, while it is NNW-SSE in eastern Tanzawa. We think this difference in the P axis direction reflects differences in tectonic conditions in those areas. In the Ashigara plain area, mechanism solutions are mostly reverse and oblique faults with the P axis direction between E-W and NNW-SSE.
