What happened
The Japan Meteorological Agency issued severe weather warnings for eastern Japan as Typhoon Dujuan approached the Pacific coast. The storm brought torrential rain and violent winds, prompting the JMA to issue Level 5 landslide warnings for Oshima Town in the Izu Islands and Level 4 warnings for the Tokyo metropolitan area. Authorities urged nearly two million people to evacuate across six prefectures, including Tokyo and Chiba Prefecture.
Why it matters
The typhoon is expected to severely impact travel across the Kanto region, hitting during Japan's "Silver Week" holiday travel period. Hundreds of flights have been canceled from major hubs like Haneda Airport and Narita International Airport. This disruption, combined with widespread power outages, threatens national tourism and transport revenue.
