Typhoon Jebi — the most powerful typhoon to hit Japan in 25 years — slammed into the western part of the country on Tuesday, killing at least seven and injuring more than 200, disrupting transportation, heavily damaging the bridge that leads to Kansai International Airport and leading authorities to call for evacuations of areas in its path. 
 
 The Meteorological Agency warned of heavy rains, strong winds and mudslides across the western and northeastern regions of the country as the typhoon first made landfall in the southern part of Tokushima Prefecture around noon. The storm made landfall again around 2 p.m. near Kobe. 
 
 As of 10 p.m. Tuesday, Jebi was traveling north-northeast over the Sea of Japan north of Niigata Prefecture at a speed of 70 kilometers per hour and with an atmospheric pressure of 975 hectopascals at its center.

 In Higashiomi, Shiga Prefecture, one man was killed when a company storage facility collapsed amid strong winds. Powerful gusts in the prefecture also tipped over several trucks on the Meishin Expressway. 
 
 Another man died after falling from the second floor of his home in Sakai, Osaka Prefecture. 
 
 Near Kansai International Airport, strong winds swept away a tanker berthed in Osaka Bay, slamming it into the sole bridge that connects the airport to the mainland and taking a large chunk out of the bridge. 
 
 None of the 11 crew members were injured, the regional coast guard headquarters said. Heavy flooding prompted the Transport Ministry to close down the entire airport, which is built on reclaimed land. 
 
 According to the airport operators, 5,000 were stranded at the facility as of 10:30 p.m. Tuesday. Flight operations may resume Wednesday evening at the earliest, the operator said. 
 
 All Nippon Airways canceled more than 320 domestic and international flights, and Japan Airlines more than 270 flights on Tuesday, affecting around 57,000 passengers in total.

 Power was out at 1.61 million houses in Fukui, Shiga, Kyoto, Osaka, Hyogo, Nara and Wakayama Prefectures on Tuesday, in addition to 95,000 houses in the Shikoku region. 
 
 In Kyoto, some people were injured after the ceiling at Kyoto Station partially collapsed, according to local police. 
 
 Dramatic footage taken by a bystander also showed parts of the roof of the newly remodeled Hotel Hewitt Koshien — near Koshien Station in Nishinomiya, Hyogo Prefecture — blowing off and into an electricity poll amid strong winds from the typhoon. The hotel is adjacent to the iconic Koshien Stadium. 
 
 In the city of Osaka, Tatsuki Okada, a desk manager at the Hyatt Regency Osaka, said he was urging visitors to take precautions amid the storm. 
 
 “The winds are quite strong and we’re advising our customers and guests not to get too close to glass windows and walls,” he said.

 Meanwhile, more than 330,000 homes in the Kinki and Shikoku regions suffered power outages. 
 
 Evacuation orders were earlier issued in some areas of Osaka, Kyoto, Nara, Hyogo, Kagawa, Ehime and Wakayama prefectures. In Japan, evacuation orders are not mandatory and people often stay at home, only to be trapped by rapidly rising water or sudden landslides. 
 
 Top government spokesman Yoshihide Suga had encouraged the public to “evacuate early” and said at a news conference Tuesday morning that the government will “take all possible means” to prepare for a possible crisis. 
 
 Prime Minister Shinzo Abe, who has been traveling across the country in an attempt to secure support for his bid for the ruling Liberal Democratic Party’s presidential election later this month, canceled his trip to the Kyushu region to deal with the typhoon. 
 
 Abe had faced criticism over his initial response to heavy rain that pounded western Japan in July, given that he and some other ministers were found to have been drinking at a gathering of LDP lawmakers in Tokyo as the situation became increasingly grim. 
 
 Japan has been hit by a succession of typhoons and disasters related to heavy rain, including massive flooding and landslides that left more than 220 people dead in July.

 The Meteorological Agency had projected that Typhoon Jebi would move northward along the Tohoku region’s Sea of Japan coast, weakening to an extratropical cyclone by Wednesday morning. 
 
 In Tokushima Prefecture, wind and rain strengthened after it made landfall. A 67-year-old man in the town of Itano hit his back after falling over while trying to cover the roof of his house with a sheet. Another man in his 60s fell two meters into a rice paddy in the city of Mima. 
 
 Bracing for Jebi, domestic airlines have played it safe, canceling hundreds of local and international flights mainly scheduled to depart and arrive in airports in western and central Japan. 
 
 Railway operators also halted some services, including on the Tokaido Shinkansen and Sanyo Shinkansen lines. Some expressway sections were also expected to be closed off. 
 
 Many bullet train passengers bound for the Kansai area were stranded on halted trains. Among them was Indonesian national Justin Setiawan, 25, and his family, who were on their way to Osaka aboard the Nozomi 29 train for a vacation. 
 
 “We have been stuck approximately 3.5 hours,” he said in an email sent to The Japan Times. 
 
 Setiawan said that despite the scenario, the passengers remained quite calm, but that all the food and bottled water onboard had already run out. 
 
 Setiawan also was sanguine about the events. 
 
 “Fortunately I booked everything in advance, and once we arrive our plan is just to take a walk around Osaka (Umeda Area) near our hotel,” he wrote. “So that is still in place, providing we reach there (the hotel) before late night — although I’ve heard everything in Osaka (stores and places to eat) are all closed.”

 Hiroki Nakaya, a 21-year-old university student who was traveling to the Kansai region from Kanagawa Prefecture, said at Osaka Station that the storm had prompted him to consider changing his travel plans. 
 
 “I heard on the news that JR lines would stop. I was planning to go to Kyoto, but I’m not yet able to make up my mind,” he said. 
 
 Department stores and popular tourist attractions in western Japan, including Osaka and Kyoto prefectures, also fell victim to the typhoon, with many closing for the day. 
 
 USJ Co., the operator of Universal Studios Japan in Osaka, closed its park and few people were seen in the usually bustling surrounding areas. 
 
 The typhoon also affected factory operations, including Suntory Holdings Ltd.’s Yamazaki Distillery in Shimamoto, Osaka Prefecture. 
 
 In Kyoto, the Kyoto City Zoo, the Kyoto Aquarium, and Nijo Castle were closed. 
 
 “We’re not sure yet if we’ll be open on Wednesday. It depends on the typhoon. But for the safety of our visitors, we decided to close today,” Hiromi Kamiguchi, a spokeswoman for Nijo Castle, a UNESCO world heritage site, said Tuesday morning. 
 
 Also Tuesday, the Imperial Household Agency said it was not accepting visits to the Kyoto Imperial Palace and other Imperial facilities in the city due to bad weather. 
 
 In the 24-hour period through 6 a.m. on Wednesday, up to 500 mm of rain was projected to fall in central Japan and up to 400 mm in the country’s west. ||||| Media playback is unsupported on your device Media caption Typhoon Jebi has left tens of thousands of people without power

 Television footage showed waves pounding the coastline, sheet metal tumbling across a parking lot, cars turned on their sides, dozens of used cars on fire at an exhibition area, and a big Ferris wheel spinning around in the strong wind. 
 
 As the typhoon made landfall, a 71-year-old man was found dead under a collapsed warehouse, likely due to a strong wind, and a man in his 70s fell from the roof of a house and died, NHK public television reported, adding more than 90 were injured. 
 
 NHK and broadcaster TBS put the number of deaths at six. 
 
 Tides in some areas were the highest since a typhoon in 1961, NHK said, with flooding covering one runway at Kansai airport near Osaka, forcing the closure of the airport and leaving about 3,000 tourists stranded. 
 
 “This storm is super (strong). I hope I can get home,” a woman from Hong Kong told NHK at the airport.

 The strong winds and high tides sent a 2,591-tonne tanker crashing into a bridge connecting the airport, built on a man-made island in a bay, to the mainland. The bridge was damaged and closed, but the tanker was empty and none of its crew was injured, the coast guard said. 
 
 The storm made landfall on Shikoku, the smallest main island, around noon. It raked across the western part of the largest main island, Honshu, near the city of Kobe, several hours later, before heading into the Sea of Japan in the evening. 
 
 The center of Jebi was about 100 km west-northwest of Sado in Niigata prefecture, central Japan, and heading north-northeast, NHK said. 
 
 Evacuation advisories were issued for more than a million people at one point, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency said. Wind gusts of up to 208 km/h (129 mph) were recorded in one part of Shikoku. 
 
 Around 100 mm (3.9 inches) of rain drenched one part of the tourist city of Kyoto in an hour, with as much as 500 mm (20 inches) set to fall in some areas in the 24 hours to noon on Wednesday. 
 
 Video posted on Twitter showed a small part of the roof of Kyoto train station falling to the ground. Other video showed roofs being torn off houses, transformers on electric poles exploding and a car scudding on its side across a parking lot. 
 
 Nearly 800 flights were canceled, along with scores of ferries and trains, NHK said. Shinkansen bullet train services between Tokyo and Okayama were suspended and Universal Studios Japan, a popular amusement park near Osaka, was closed. 
 
 Some 1.6 million households were without power in Osaka and its surrounding areas at 5 p.m. (0800 GMT) Toyota Motor Corp said it was cancelling the night shift at 14 plants.

 Hello and welcome to the latest updates as typhoon Jebi makes landfall on the west coast of Japan. There were scattered reports of mild injuries as the typhoon made landfall on Shikoku, the smallest main island, around noon. It raked across the western part of the largest main island, Honshu, near the city of Kobe, several hours later. Japan's Kyodo News service said it was the strongest typhoon to make landfall in Japan since 1993. 
 
 Evacuation advisories have been issued for more than one million people as the wind and rain began picking up, the Fire and Disaster Management Agency said. Tides in some areas were the highest since a typhoon in 1961, NHK public television said, with flooding covering the runways at Kansai International Airport in Osaka. The strong winds sent a 2,591-tonne tanker crashing into a bridge connecting Kansai airport, which is built on a man-made island in a bay, to the mainland. The bridge was damaged but the tanker was empty and none of its crew was injured, the coast guard said. More than 700 flights have been cancelled, along with scores of ferries and trains, according to Japanese media tallies. 
 
 
 
 Shinkansen bullet train services between Tokyo and Hiroshima were suspended and Universal Studios Japan, a popular amusement park near Osaka, was closed. Footage has emerged of a building partially collapsing in Osaka. This is the route typhoon Jebi is predicted to take as it tracks across Japan. Around 100mm (3.9in) of rain drenched one part of the tourist city of Kyoto in an hour, with as much as 500mm (20in) set to fall in some areas in the 24 hours to noon on Wednesday. Some 177,000 customers across western Japan have lost power, the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry said. 
 
 
 
 Toyota Motor Corp said it was cancelling the night shift at some 14 plants. Heavy winds have blown parts of the roof of the newly built Hotel Hewitt Koshien, in Hygo Prefecture, off the building and then sent them careening into an electricity pylon. This is the predicted path of typhoon Jebi. More footage has been shared on social media of roofs being blown off buildings. Cranes have been filmed swaying violently as the storm batters Japan. High seas have poured into Kansai International Airport in Osaka, flooding one of its two runways and cargo storage and forcing the airport to shut down. Tokyo has escaped typhoon Jebi relatively unscathed, with some intermittent squalls. One person has been killed when a warehouse collapsed in Shiga prefecture, Kyodo news reports. Here's an inkling of how strong winds from typhoon Jebi are - they can be seen pushing this van over onto its side. Footage posted on Twitter shows the moment part of Kyoto train station's roof collapsed earlier today, sending people below running for cover. Several people were reportedly injured. At least six people have been killed and more than 120 injured as Japan by typhoon Jebi. 
 
 A man in his 70s died after he was apparently blown to the ground from his apartment in Osaka prefecture, officials said. 
 
 A 71-year-old man was earlier found dead under a collapsed warehouse in Shiga prefecture. The collapse was likely due to a strong winds. 
 
 National broadcaster NHK said 126 people had been injured in the storm. Japan's prime minister, Shinzo Abe, has cancelled a scheduled trip to Kyushu, the country's most southern main island, to oversee the government's response to the typhoon, chief cabinet secretary Yoshihide Suga has said.

 TOKYO (AP) — A powerful typhoon slammed into western Japan on Tuesday, causing heavy rain to flood the region's main international airport and strong winds to blow a tanker into a bridge, disrupting land and air travel and leaving thousands stranded. The storm left at least two people dead. 
 
 Jebi, reportedly the strongest typhoon to make landfall in Japan since 1993, headed north across the main island of Honshu toward the Sea of Japan. It was off the northern coast of Fukui on Tuesday evening with sustained winds of 126 kilometers per hour (78 miles per hour) and gusts up to 180 kph (110 mph), the Japan Meteorological Agency said. 
 
 A man in his 70s died apparently after being blown to the ground from his apartment in Osaka prefecture, while a 71-year-old man died when a storage building collapsed on him, officials said. 
 
 NHK public television said 126 people were injured. 
 
 High seas poured into Kansai International Airport, built on artificial islands in Osaka Bay, flooding one of its two runways, cargo storage and other facilities, and forcing it to shut down, said the Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism. A passenger was slightly injured by shards from a window shattered by the storm. 
 
 A 2,591-ton tanker that was mooring slammed into the side of a bridge connecting the airport to the mainland, damaging the bridge and making it unusable, leaving about 3,000 passengers stranded at the airport, transport ministry official Mitsuo Nakao said. 
 
 The tanker was also damaged, but its 11 crewmembers were not injured and remained on board, according to the coast guard. 
 
 More than 700 flights were canceled, according to Japanese media tallies. High-speed bullet train service was suspended from Tokyo west to Hiroshima, though service resumed partially later Tuesday when the typhoon left the region. 
 
 The storm also cut power to hundreds of thousands of homes and caused schools, shops and factories to close in Osaka, Japan's second largest city and a business center. 
 
 More than 1.6 million households remained without power in Osaka, Kyoto and four nearby prefectures late Tuesday, according to Kansai Electric Power Co. 
 
 Daihatsu Motor Co. stopped production at its Kyoto and Osaka factories, while Panasonic halted work at its air conditioning and refrigerator factory in Shiga. Major beverage maker Kirin Co. suspended production at its brewery in Kobe, according to Kyodo News agency. 
 
 Elsewhere in Osaka, the Universal Studios Japan theme park and U.S. Consulate were both closed. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe canceled a scheduled trip to Kyushu, Japan's southernmost main island, to oversee the government's response to the typhoon, said Chief Cabinet Secretary Yoshihide Suga. 
 
 In nearby Nishinomiya in Hyogo prefecture, about 100 cars at a seaside dealership were in flames after their electrical systems were shorted out by sea water, fire officials and news reports said. 
 
 The typhoon first made landfall on Japan's southwestern island of Shikoku and then again near Kobe on Honshu. Television footage showed sea water overflowing onto low-lying areas. 
 
 Tokyo escaped relatively unscathed, with some intermittent squalls.

– Video footage shows a tanker crashing into a bridge, an overturned truck teetering over water, roofs torn off houses, and a flooded main airport—the consequences of Japan's strongest typhoon in 25 years. At least seven deaths and more than 200 injuries have been reported since Typhoon Jebi made landfall in western Japan around noon local time Tuesday, reports the Japan Times. Considered to be Japan's first "very strong" typhoon since 1993, per the BBC, Jebi brought heavy rain and wind gusts of 129mph as it moved from Shikoku Island to the Japanese mainland. A 71-year-old man died when a warehouse collapsed, while another man in his 70s died in a fall from a roof, reports Reuters. More than a million people were evacuated from their homes, and 1.6 million homes remained without power across the region late Tuesday when the storm finally reached the Sea of Japan with sustained winds of 78mph, reports the AP. Osaka was among the worst hit locales, notes the Independent. At one point, winds sent a 2,500-ton tanker crashing into a bridge connecting Kansai International Airport in Osaka Bay to the Japanese mainland. As a result, some 3,000 people were stranded at the airport where at least one runway was covered with water. Almost 800 flights were canceled overall as meteorologists warned of high waves and mudslides.
