Typhoon Nanmadol pounded western Japan with heavy rain and strong winds on Monday, forcing airlines to cancel flights, snarling train operations and leaving more than 300,000 households without power.
Authorities warned of floods and landslides as the 14th typhoon of the season moved toward eastern Japan.
Up to 400 millimetres of rain is expected in central Japan's Tokai region, the nation's industrial heartland, over the next 24 hours, the Japanese Meteorological Agency said."We need to remain highly vigilant for heavy rains, gales, high waves and storm surges," an agency official said at a news conference.
