22nd September 2026 – (Tokyo) Typhoon Dujuan has left at least four people dead and 22 injured in Japan, while more than 45,000 households near Tokyo remained without electricity after the storm moved through the region before heading into the Pacific. Authorities lifted or downgraded many heavy rain and landslide warnings as conditions eased, but emergency crews continued searches for six people missing following landslides triggered by the deluge.
Transport and events were widely disrupted. Japan Airlines cancelled 135 flights and All Nippon Airways scrapped 140 services as the system neared the capital. Dujuan forced the early closure of the Tokyo Game Show on its final day, while a major outdoor music festival and a baseball fixture scheduled in Chiba were also cancelled. Social media images showed flooding around Kamakura Station, prompting Mayor Takashi Matsuo to warn that road travel was dangerous due to inundation across the city.
Although the typhoon weakened as it tracked northeast, rainfall totals reached historic levels in parts of the Tokyo metropolitan area. Oshima, an island about 120 kilometres south of central Tokyo, recorded 832 millimetres over 48 hours—more than double its average for the entire month of September—while Edogawa Ward in Tokyo logged a record 282.5 millimetres in 24 hours.
