Trami, lost some strength after making landfall near Tanabe City, 450 kilometres south-west of Tokyo, prompting the Japan Meteorological Agency to downgrade it to a “strong” typhoon from an “extremely strong” one.


Kansai International Airport in Osaka, western Japan, which was heavily flooded by a typhoon in early September, said it closed its runways overnight. The airport only fully reopened on September 21 following previous storms.


As the agency warned the storm was headed towards Tokyo, East Japan Railway halted all train services in the metropolitan area from 8pm on Sunday and operations of some bullet trains and some Metro subway services were also suspended.
