Japanese defense officials have identified a vessel spotted near the Senkaku Islands last week as China's new nuclear-powered attack submarine.
The sub was spotted last Thursday traveling underwater in the contiguous zone just outside Japanese territorial waters in the East China Sea.
The defense ministry confirmed the vessel belonged to the Chinese Navy on Friday when it emerged in high seas raising a Chinese flag.
Japan controls the Senkaku Islands. The government maintains the islands are an inherent part of Japan's territory. China and Taiwan claim them.
Analysis of the shape and noise of the vessel by experts at the ministry show it is the new Shang-class attack submarine.
The sub is about 110 meters long and has an underwater displacement of 6,100 tons. It is faster and can travel further than conventional subs and is capable of carrying longer range cruise missiles.

A foreign submarine spotted just outside Japanese territorial waters on Thursday was confirmed to belong to the Chinese Navy. Japan's government has lodged a protest with China.
It says the submarine emerged in high seas and raised a Chinese flag on Friday afternoon.
On Thursday, a foreign submarine was found traveling underwater in the contiguous zone just outside territorial waters near the Senkaku Islands in Okinawa Prefecture.
The Defense Ministry kept analyzing and tracing the vessel, believing it was a Chinese Navy submarine, as a Chinese frigate was spotted nearby. Ministry officials say the vessel continued to navigate toward China.
Vice Foreign Minister Shinsuke Sugiyama lodged a strong protest with Chinese Ambassador Cheng Yonghua.
He said the incident is a unilateral attempt by China to change the status quo that only escalates the situation.
Sugiyama urged China to take measures to prevent a recurrence.
Defense Minister Itsunori Onodera said Japan is gravely concerned about the incident, which he called a unilateral action to raise tensions.

The head of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons is visiting Hiroshima, the site of the world's first atomic bombing in 1945.
Beatrice Fihn is the executive director of ICAN, the winner of last year's Nobel Peace Prize.
Fihn travelled to the Peace Memorial Park on Monday where she laid flowers at the cenotaph for the victims of the bombing and then visited the Atomic Bomb Dome.
She also visited the Hiroshima Peace Memorial Museum and watched a display using computer graphics showing how Hiroshima was instantaneously destroyed by the atomic blast and heat rays.
In the museum guestbook, Fihn wrote that ICAN will work with the people of Hiroshima to eliminate nuclear weapons.
She then met an 80-year-old survivor of the bombing, Keiko Ogura. Ogura was 8 years old at the time.
Ogura said many of her classmates died and she still cannot forget the experience. She said she will continue to share her experience to achieve a world without nuclear weapons.
Fihn said it is important for people around the world to hear the survivors' stories.

The Japanese government has said it would be difficult to approve a request for a meeting with Prime Minister Shinzo Abe. The appeal was made by the anti-nuclear weapons group that won last year's Nobel Peace Prize.
Beatrice Fihn, the executive director of the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, or ICAN, has been visiting Japan since Friday.
She traveled to Hiroshima and Nagasaki, two cities that were hit by atomic bombs, and she is scheduled to exchange opinions with members of political parties in Tokyo.
ICAN had filed a request with the Cabinet Office to arrange a meeting between Abe and Fihn, while she is in Japan.
But the group says it was informed by the Foreign Ministry as of Sunday, that it would be difficult to squeeze the meeting into the prime minister's schedule.
Fihn said she wanted to talk with Abe about the UN treaty to ban nuclear weapons. She added that she would like to meet with him on another occasion.
Toshiyuki Mimaki of Nihon Hidankyo, or the Japan Confederation of Atomic and Hydrogen Bomb Sufferers Organizations, said his organization will continue to call on the government to meet with ICAN, and atomic bomb survivors, in order to promote discussions that will lead to the abolition of nuclear arms.

A floor at Indonesia's stock exchange building in Jakarta has collapsed, injuring at least 77 people.
Police say a mezzanine walkway fell into the lobby shortly after noon on Monday.
Local media report the exchange was closed at the time for the lunch break, but that some employees and visiting university students were inside.
Footage taken at the scene showed many people fleeing the building. Some were seen lying on the ground.
Ten people were killed in a terrorist bombing in the building 18 years ago. But police have ruled out an attack. They describe the collapse as an accident.

A major Japanese company is weighing a potentially colossal initial public offering this year. Sources say Masayoshi Son's telecom conglomerate, Softbank Group, may list its mobile phone unit on the Tokyo Stock Exchange this autumn.
A decision could be made as early as this spring.
The move could bring in some 2 trillion yen, or 18 billion dollars. That would make it one of Japan's biggest IPOs, rivaling the 2.2 trillion yen listing of Nippon Telegraph and Telephone, or NTT, in 1987.
The IPO would raise funds for the group's investment business, which has been aggressively acquiring stakes in technology firms around the world. It set up a 90-billion-dollar fund last year with financial backing from Saudi Arabia.
Softbank Group says that while no decision has been made, the listing is an option.
