From Kyodo:
A powerful typhoon continued its advance toward Tokyo and other eastern areas of Japan on Friday, with the weather agency urging people to prepare for strong winds and heavy rainfall, and transport operators canceling many train services and flights.
The Japan Meteorological Agency warned of violent winds, mudslides, high waves and flooding, as heavy rain will sharply increase the risk of disaster.
From The Yomiuri Shimbun:
The helicopter did not emit fire or smoke, and no injuries had been reported, according to police. Authorities are investigating details of the incident.
From South China Morning Post:
Grilled eel, a popular summer delicacy in Japan, is behind a department store food poisoning incident that has left more than 140 people sick and one dead, the store’s president said.
Shinji Kaneko of Keikyu Department Store in Yokohama – about an hour from Tokyo – apologised after the customers, who last week bought lunchboxes containing eel, suffered vomiting and diarrhoea.
From The Japan Times:
Two cases of sexual crimes allegedly by people linked to the U.S. military have occurred since 2021 in Kanagawa Prefecture but were not publicly disclosed, prefectural police officials said Thursday.
The police reported both cases to the U.S. military, but the prefectural government was not aware of the incidents.
Turn out that the lack of notification of these crimes expands beyond Okinawa.
