The storm's sustained winds reach 130 km / h, and gusts - up to 194 km / h. The element left over 50,000 people without electricity, and hundreds of flights were canceled. Rail services were also suspended in affected areas.
The Meteorological Agency has downgraded or cancelled some warnings for heavy rain and landslides. However, a higher level of alert remains in effect for the Shinagawa area and the villages of Toshima and Niijima.
