Typhoon Dujuan brought torrential rain, flooding and landslides to areas around Tokyo, with more than one million people advised to evacuate and hundreds of flights cancelled early Tuesday.
Two people have been confirmed dead after heavy rainfall triggered landslides in Chiba and Kanagawa prefectures near Tokyo, local governments reported, according to Japanese media including the Kyodo news agency.
The typhoon was moving away from Japan’s coast early Tuesday and heading northeast over the sea, with its winds weakening slightly, the Japanese Meteorological Agency (JMA) said.
Dujuan had brought winds of about 144 kilometres per hour on Monday as it moved to around 130 kilometres south of Katsuura City near Tokyo.
Japan Airlines cancelled 135 flights, while All Nippon Airways scrapped 140. More than 9,000 households in the Tokyo area were also left without power.
More than 1.6 million residents in and around the capital were urged to evacuate on Monday, according to the Fire and Disaster Management Agency.
The advisories were not mandatory.
Railway operators in Tokyo and neighbouring regions suspended services on some lines, while landslide warnings were issued for Tokyo, Chiba, Kanagawa and Shizuoka prefectures.
JMA official Takuya Hosomi warned that rainfall could continue in areas under alerts as the storm moved north.
The agency had warned on Sunday that rainfall and winds would intensify even before the typhoon reached the region.
“The total rainfall through Tuesday could exceed the average monthly rainfall for September, resulting in record-breaking heavy rain,” the agency said.
Dujuan also disrupted events across the region.
The Tokyo Game Show, one of the world’s largest video-game trade fairs, closed early on Monday, its final day.
A major outdoor music festival and a baseball game scheduled to take place in Chiba were also cancelled.
