Trains and flights across Japan have been cancelled as Typhoon Shanshan, one of the strongest storms to hit the country in decades, continues to drench cities along its path. At least six people have died and over 100 have been injured since the typhoon made landfall in southwestern Japan on Thursday. Although now downgraded to a tropical storm, Shanshan is still producing winds of up to 90 km/h (56 mph) and leaving thousands without power.

Authorities issued the highest level-five evacuation order to millions of residents on Kyushu island as the storm approached with winds reaching 252 km/h. The typhoon has since weakened but continues to batter the northeast, with up to 300 mm (12 inches) of rain expected in some areas over the next 24 hours.

Residents are being warned of potential landslides, flooding, and extensive damage. Shanshan has left a trail of destruction, with damaged buildings, uprooted trees, and vehicles overturned or submerged. The Japan Meteorological Agency has urged people in Gifu and Mie prefectures to remain on high alert for further landslides and flooding.

“This is the first time I’ve seen a typhoon sweeping across all of Japan,” a Tokyo resident told Reuters. “Typhoons usually move north from Okinawa, so I didn’t expect this. I’m very surprised.”

The storm has disrupted travel across the country, with All Nippon Airways and Japan Airlines cancelling dozens of domestic flights. Bullet train services between Tokyo and Osaka, as well as Shinkansen trains in Nagoya, have been suspended, with warnings that further suspensions may follow.
