The death toll includes a 64-year-old woman killed when her home was engulfed by a landslide in Yokosuka, according to NHK. Three other victims ranged in age from their 50s to 80s. Rescue efforts are ongoing for six missing individuals, including an elderly couple and two women in Miura city.
The storm has caused widespread disruption, with about 58,000 homes without power as of Tuesday. The Japan Meteorological Agency warned that record rainfall dumped by the storm system meant high river levels and saturated ground still posed a threat. Almost 33 inches of rain was recorded in Oshima in Tokyo's Izu archipelago.
Travel disruptions continued for a second day, with at least two rail operators canceling or suspending some of their services. Roads leading to Japan Railways' Sakura Station remained under several feet of water, trapping residents in their homes after the nearby Takasaki River burst its banks.
