Heavy rain in Japan led to significant disruptions in Shinkansen bullet train services, with 88 Sanyo Shinkansen trains canceled and 229 delayed by up to six hours, affecting approximately 139,300 passengers. JR West reported that rain gauges in certain areas had reached maximum safe levels between Shin-Osaka and Hakata, necessitating a halt in operations on Saturday. While all Shinkansen services briefly stopped between Hakata and Tokyo, safety checks allowed operations to resume later. The Japan Meteorological Agency indicated improving weather conditions on Sunday as the low-pressure system moved east but warned of ongoing risks from overflowing rivers and landslides.
