Typhoon Dujuan brings heavy rain and flight cancellations to eastern Japan
Japan has issued evacuation advisories for nearly two million people as Typhoon Dujuan brings heavy rain, severe winds, and transport disruptions near Tokyo.
Authorities in Japan have advised nearly two million people to evacuate as Typhoon Dujuan impacts the country's eastern coastline, including the greater Tokyo region. The Japanese Meteorological Agency warned of severe rainfall, destructive winds, flash flooding, and potential landslides.
The storm has caused widespread transport disruptions, forcing major domestic airlines to cancel hundreds of flights, although select international operations continue. Tens of thousands of homes suffered power outages as the weather system passed near Katsura and surrounding prefectures. While officials downgraded several emergency levels, high-risk warnings remain active in targeted locations such as Oshima Town.
