Airlines have cancelled flights, while some bullet train operations may be suspended this week.
TOKYO – Three members of a family remain missing in Japan on Aug 28 after heavy rain from an approaching typhoon triggered a landslide, the authorities said.
“The landslide hit a house where five family members were living – a couple in their 70s, two women in their 40s and a man in his 30s,” a Gamagori official told AFP. Local governments issued evacuation advisories to 810,000 people in the central Shizuoka prefecture on Honshu because of the rain and to 56,000 others in Kagoshima in Kyushu, the fire and disaster management agency said.
