Typhoon Dujuan Unleashes Record Rain Across Japan, Killing at Least 5

In late September 2026, Typhoon Dujuan reminded Japan — and the world — that nature does not negotiate with infrastructure. The storm delivered rainfall beyond any recorded measure, turning familiar landscapes into hazards and forcing nearly two million people to abandon their homes. At least five lives were lost in the Kanto region, with six more still unaccounted for, as a nation practiced in weathering typhoons found itself navigating conditions outside the boundaries of its own experience.
