Tokyo was spared by a typhoon that blasted parts of Japan with more than 200kmh winds on Saturday ( Aug 17 ), which allowed trains and some flights to resume.
Tokyo and its surrounding regions had been on high alert on Friday for Typhoon Ampil’s strategy, with travel companies, outings, events and college classes cancelled en mass.
When it veered away from the peninsula and headed north into the Pacific on Saturday morning, the surprise was packing 216kmh gusts.
Even so, the Japan Meteorological Agency warned that” some regions in the northwestern part of Japan are experiencing heavy weather as a result of hot, humid air around the storms.”
The weather agency issued an advisory on Saturday night, warning people to be aware that the risk of floods has been considerably increased by the recent heavy rainfall in some areas.
Although the feared crisis in Tokyo not occurred, some minor accidents and damages, such as broken panels, toppled trees, and destroyed power poles, were reported.
After the Central Japan Railway Company closed a occupied area between Tokyo and Nagoya the day before, the majority of Japan’s shot train community returned to normal on Saturday.
The railroad company stated on its website that “JR Central shot railways are business as usual today.”
After hundreds of cancellations the day before, broadcaster NHK reported that Japan Airlines and All Nippon Airways ( ANA ) had collectively cancelled 68 flights as of Saturday morning.  ,
On Thursday, several Singapore Airlines ( SIA ) flights to and from Tokyo were also impacted by , weather conditions brought on by Typhoon Ampil.
