Typhoon Shanshan disrupts travel, brings heavy rain in Japan

On Tuesday ( Aug 27 ), a powerful typhoon was heading for southern Japan, bringing heavy rain and stumbling bullet trains and flights.

Typhoon Shanshan was moving towards the southern Amami island, packing winds of up to 216kmh. &nbsp,

On Tuesday night, heavy rains prompted the expulsion of the gun station between the main cities of Hamamatsu and Toyohashi, though support resumed shortly thereafter, according to the operator.

According to Central Japan Railway and West Japan Railway providers, there were difficulties even for different areas of the high-speed community and local carriages.

Going forward, some shot train operations may be cancelled or suspended after this year, depending on the training of the storms, the firms cautioned Tuesday.
