Typhoon Yun-yeung, which had been expected to make landfall in central Japan, has weakened into a tropical depression, the weather agency said Friday.
The typhoon caused record rainfall in the country's eastern regions, especially in Chiba and Ibaraki prefectures, leading to warnings from the Japan Meteorological Agency about landslides, flooding in low-lying areas and river overflows.
Some railway services were disrupted, with parts of the Tokaido Line, Uchibo Line and Gaibo Line suspended, according to East Japan Railway Co.
A record 371.5 millimeters of precipitation was recorded in the 12 hours to 9 p.m. in Mobara and 249.5 mm in Kamogawa, both in Chiba Prefecture, while another record 255.0 mm was logged in Hitachi, Ibaraki Prefecture.
