Typhoon Jangmi continued disrupting travel across eastern Japan on June 3 despite moving offshore, with airlines canceling hundreds of flights and railway operators suspending services as authorities warned strong winds and dangerous conditions could prolong disruption into the evening and beyond.

Although the storm center moved eastward into the Pacific Ocean after making its closest approach to the Kanto region, transport operators warned recovery efforts remain ongoing while strong winds, rough seas and infrastructure inspections continue affecting operations.

Air Travel Suffers The Largest Impact

Airlines canceled nearly 900 domestic and international flights during the day, disrupting travel plans for approximately 90,000 passengers. Airlines urged travelers to verify schedules before heading to airports as weather conditions and operational recovery continued to affect services.

Flight disruptions spread across multiple major airports, including Tokyo Haneda and Tokyo Narita, where dozens of international services were either delayed or canceled. Some airport facilities also operated under temporary restrictions as recovery efforts continued.

Rail Networks Across Eastern Japan Face Widespread Suspensions

Rail disruption remained extensive throughout eastern Japan as operators suspended numerous conventional lines while carrying out safety inspections and monitoring weather conditions.

Several regional routes across Chiba, Ibaraki, Tokyo and neighboring prefectures experienced full-day suspensions while reduced operations and delays affected major commuter corridors. Operators warned restoration timelines remained uncertain and depended heavily on local conditions.

High-speed rail services continued operating but remained vulnerable to sudden schedule changes depending on wind conditions and safety assessments.

Road Transport And Bus Services Also Affected

Expressway operators warned that strong winds, flooding risks and safety concerns continued creating operational challenges across major road networks.

Multiple highway bus operators suspended services linking Tokyo with major destinations including Osaka, Kyoto and Nagoya while warning passengers that service resumptions could change with little notice.

Authorities Shift Focus From Rainfall To Dangerous Winds

Weather officials said the main threat had shifted away from heavy rainfall toward strong winds and dangerous sea conditions.

Forecasters warned powerful gusts could continue through the evening and overnight, particularly along coastal areas where dangerous sea conditions remain in place. Rough seas and elevated wave activity are expected to continue into June 4.

Broader Disruption Extends Beyond Transport

The storm affected daily life beyond transportation networks.

Power outages affected tens of thousands of households while flooding concerns prompted evacuation advisories affecting more than one million residents during the day. Authorities also reported injuries and infrastructure disruptions linked to flooding and severe weather.

Travel Disruption May Continue Beyond The Storm Itself

Although Typhoon Jangmi is expected to continue weakening as it moves farther into the Pacific Ocean, officials warn travel disruption may continue beyond the storm’s direct impact.

Transport operators continue urging passengers to monitor schedules closely as strong winds, inspections and recovery work create ongoing uncertainty across eastern Japan.
