A record-breaking storm has killed two people, injured 60 and left two reported missing as it rips through Japan.
Typhoon Hagibis made landfall on Saturday on the country's East coast, while an earthquake hit Chiba City, about 40km South East of the capital, Tokyo.
More than 100 rivers were at risk of overflowing as huge levels of rain hit areas including Tokyo, Saitama and Chiba.
Japan's Meteorological Agency said winds from the typhoon had been measured at about 100 miles per hour, with gusts of up to 135 miles per hour.
Torrential rain is forecast until Sunday, with a severe risk of flooding and landslides. Hagibis, which means "speed" in Filipino, is predicted to be the country's worst in 60 years. The storm has now passed the capital, but according to local reports streets and train stations were deserted, while shops' shelves were emptied by people stocking up ahead.
The nationally circulated Yomiuri newspaper has put the storm's casualty toll at two people dead, three missing and 62 injured. More than 170,000 people had evacuated their homes, the paper said. Evacuation orders have been issued to more than 800,000 households across 11 prefectures, while hundreds of thousands of homes have been left without power.
The Rugby World Cup, which has brought many UK tourists to Japan, is currently taking place in the country, and play has been affected by the extreme weather.
The match between England and France due to be played on Saturday in Yokohama was cancelled, with world cup officials advising fans to stay indoors and not attempt to travel.
The draw announced as a result of the cancellation means both teams progress to the next stage of the tournament, with England as winners and France in second place.
More controversial is Scotland's under-threat match against Japan on Sunday. The Scots can only progress if they beat the home team, and would be knocked out if the game was cancelled and declared a 0-0 draw.
World Rugby has yet to announce its decision on whether the decisive encounter, along with the other three games scheduled for Sunday, will go ahead.
