AbstractDeep tectonic tremors occur at the downdip extent of the seismogenic zone due to fluid processes. Beneath the northeastern Kii Peninsula, southwestern Japan, there is an along‐dip bimodal distribution of tremor. However, no constraint exists on the structures controlling that distribution. We extract detailed seismological structures from multi‐band receiver functions and evaluate conditional differences in the distribution. To achieve high resolution images along the plate interface, we utilize records of regional deep‐focus earthquakes from the Pacific slab. Cross‐section images show the subducting oceanic plate with depth‐dependent phases along the bimodal distribution, revealing a conspicuous plate interface at the updip portion and an inconspicuous interface below the mantle wedge at the downdip portion. This indicates that episodic tremors occur in the high pore‐fluid plate interface below the impermeable forearc crust, and that continual tremors occur at the permeable mantle wedge corner, owing to continuous fluid supply from the oceanic crust.
