Overview
- The storm struck Japan’s Pacific coast on Monday, prompting evacuation orders for about 1.6–1.7 million people across Ibaraki, Chiba, Tokyo, Kanagawa and Shizuoka and forcing large-scale emergency responses.
- Officials and local sources report multiple confirmed deaths with counts varying between two and four and several people still missing as rescue teams search landslide-hit neighborhoods.
- Dujuan dumped record totals in some places, including 832 mm on Oshima over 48 hours and a 24-hour record of about 282.5 mm in Tokyo’s Edogawa Ward, triggering floods, slope failures and home damage.
- The storm caused major travel and service disruption with hundreds of flights cancelled, some bullet-train services suspended, large events closed, and roughly 45,000–48,000 households still without power.
- Forecasters say the storm has moved northeast off the coast but warn that saturated ground and swollen rivers keep the risk of secondary landslides and floods high while authorities assess damage and restore services.
