Temporary slip speed increases with durations of 1–3 h were identified during short-term slow slip events in records of borehole and laser strainmeters in the Tokai region, Japan. They were found by searching for peaks of correlation coefficients between stacked strain data and ramp functions with rise times of 1 and 2 h. Although many of the strain steps were considered due to noise, some strain steps occurred with simultaneous activation of the deep tectonic tremors and shared source areas with the tremors. From 2016 to 2022, we observed five strain steps with simultaneous activation of tectonic tremors and coincidence of source locations with the tremors. Those strain steps occurred during short-term slow slip events and were temporary slip speed increases of the slow slip events. Those strain steps seemed to be related to successive occurrences with source migration of short-term slow slip events. The detrended strain steps corresponded to plate boundary slip events of moment magnitude around 5, which was consistent with the scaling law of slow earthquakes. Graphical Abstract
