The body of a 42-year-old man was discovered on a flooded road in Kitami city of Hokkaido. Earlier, the victim's car was also found nearby.

Up to this morning, more than 380 flights and 105 high-speed trains have been canceled, according to Japanese media.

The Japan Meteorological Agency has forecast for the risk of flooding, heavy rain and rising sea waves in dozens of cities across the country. Prime Minister Shinzo Abe's office also issued a warning about the risk of landslides.

In Kanagawa, where Mindulle passed, at least 10,000 people were ordered to evacuate. The storm is also expected to sweep some of Japan's densely populated areas, including Tokyo, Yokohama and Sendai, causing heavy rainfall of up to 400 mm.

Earlier, Kompasu made landfall on the northern island of Hokkaido in Japan, causing flooding due to the rise of the Tokoro River. Thousands of people were asked to evacuate. The storm has weakened into a tropical depression.

Meanwhile, the third storm Lionrock is expected to strengthen and enter the Okinawa area as well as the islands of southern Japan on the morning of August 23.
