TOKYO, Japan (CNN) -- Rescue teams in Japan pressed their search Sunday for people missing a day after a powerful weekend earthquake killed at least five people and left another 166 injured.

Eleven people were reported missing from Saturday's 7.2 magnitude earthquake, local police said.
On Sunday, Emperor Akihito extended his sympathy on Sunday to those affected by the quake.
"I hope the missing people are rescued promptly," Akihito said in an address at a tree-planting ceremony in nearby Akita prefecture, The Associated Press reported. "I hope peace will return to people's lives as soon as possible."
The quake, which hit at 8:43 a.m. (12:43 a.m. GMT), was centered 100 kilometers (60 miles) north of Sendai, Japan, in southern Iwate Prefecture, the Japanese Meteorological Agency said. Several strong aftershocks followed.
Several landslides covered roads, some highways buckled, a few bridges collapsed and bullet trains stopped. But two nuclear power plants in the region were not affected, officials said.
Ten landslides were documented -- one of them buried a spa in Miyagi where seven guests remain missing, national police said.
At least 106 homes were damaged, 78 of them seriously, police said. Two bridges were broken and roads were blocked at 13 locations.
Cabinet Secretary Nobutaka Machimura said one man was killed when he was buried in a landslide in Fukushima Prefecture and the other was struck by a truck when he rushed out of his house in Iwate.
Police said two construction were killed on the job by another landslide.
Prime Minister Yasuo Fukuda sent priority orders for rescue operations, Machimura said.
Local governments, fire departments and police were working to gather damage reports.
The Iwate government office said it had received reports that eight children and a teacher were injured by breaking windows at a preschool and that the earthquake produced landslides in some areas.
The Miyagi fire department said there had been some injuries caused by falling furniture, and some bus passengers were injured when the vehicle bounced on a bridge.
East Japan Railway suspended Shinkansen bullet trains in the Tohoku region, and many other train lines in the region suspended operation as well. Expressways in Miyagi were also closed.
Tokyo Electric Power Co. said that operations at nuclear power plants in Fukushima were not affected, Japan's national Kyodo News Agency said.
The Japanese Meteorological Agency Authorities had originally said the quake was a magnitude 7.0 but later updated it to a 7.2.
