OVER 10,000 HOMES REMAIN WITHOUT POWER IN CHIBA, KANAGAWA AFTER TYPHOON - CHIBA TOKYO JAPAN

CHIBA

More than 10,000 homes in Chiba Prefecture remained without power on Friday after Typhoon Dujuan brought record rainfall to eastern Japan earlier this week.

TEPCO Power Grid Inc warned the outages could continue for an extended period, as roads have been blocked by landslides and fallen trees across wide areas, preventing crews in some locations from even inspecting damaged facilities.

Dozens of homes in nearby Kanagawa Prefecture were also without power on Friday, the utility said. In Chiba Prefecture, about 2,700 households had no running water as of noon Thursday, according to prefectural authorities.

The storm also breached some levees at Lake Imbanuma in northern Chiba Prefecture, flooding homes and rice paddies across an extensive area. With another typhoon approaching, the infrastructure ministry said Friday it aims to complete emergency repairs and draining of inundated areas within about a week.

The lake's water level stood at about 3 meters as of 7 a.m. Friday. The ministry plans to use drainage pumps to bring it back to its normal level of 2.3 meters by Saturday at the earliest.

Minister of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism Tatsunori Ibayashi told a press conference Friday that the ministry would work with the prefecture and the Japan Water Agency on the recovery effort, pledging to "do everything we can."

Shoji Sakuma, 63, who runs his own business in Ichihara, where the power outage is affecting more households than in any other city in Chiba, said his home had been without electricity since Monday evening. His solar panels provided some power, but not enough.

"It's hot and I can't use the air conditioner, so I plan to sleep in my car," he said. His home was also without running water, and it remains unclear when either service will be restored.

In Kimitsu, where water outages continued across a wide area, Ayumi Kono, 32, carried about 60 liters of water home from a distribution point.

Kono has used paper plates and disposable chopsticks to conserve water, but said, "The toilet is the biggest problem."

The typhoon has left 11 people dead -- seven in Chiba Prefecture and four in Kanagawa -- and three missing.

OSAKA MAY NAME A DISTRICT AFTER EXPO MASCOT MYAKU - MYAKU - OSAKA JAPAN

OSAKA MAY NAME A DISTRICT AFTER EXPO MASCOT MYAKU - MYAKU - OSAKA JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

For quite a while now, the ruling political party in Osaka Prefecture, the Japan Innovation Party (Ishin no Kai), has been wanting to change Osaka into a metropolis like Tokyo. This would mainly involve breaking Osaka City into four “special wards,” which are kinds of pseudo-cities with more localized governments. 

The benefit would be a reduction in government redundancy, since Osaka Prefecture and Osaka City often oversee similar services and infrastructure in the same areas such as schools, hospitals, and libraries. The downside is it would be a huge pain in the neck to redraw the map and reallocate all of the services, which is probably why the idea was shot down in two referendums over the past decade.

▼ One of the proposed ways to divide Osaka City into four special wards

The Japan Innovation Party remains undeterred, however, and is working hard to keep the dream of an Osaka Metropolis alive. It recently formed a coalition with the nation’s ruling party, the Liberal Democratic Party, with a clear goal of making Osaka Japan’s “Vice Capital,” and what better way to do that than to become more like Tokyo.

Meanwhile, in an effort to bolster more public support for the metropolis idea, the Japan Innovation Party held an online survey where citizens of Osaka would vote for what they would like the new special wards to be named. Among the more lackluster choices named after geographic locations or directions, some citizen suggested “Myakumya Ward” as a possible name for the area along the north side of the current Osaka City.

The reason for this choice is that the Japanese word for “Ward” is “Ku,” so Myakumya Ward in Japanese would be “Myakumya-ku,” nearly identical to the popular mascot of the Osaka Expo, Myaku-Myaku.

Government officials involved in the survey weren’t sure what to do with the proposed name. On one hand, it seems to make a mockery of the whole idea. On the other hand, people love a good mockery, and since the whole purpose of this survey is to generate interest in the project, Myakumya Ward is very likely the best way to accomplish that.

The full shortlist of names is the following:

-- Osaka Yodogawa Ward, Osaka Kita Ward, Osaka Chuo Ward, Osaka Tennoji Ward

-- Shin-Osaka Ward, Umeda Ward, Namba Ward, Tennoji Ward

-- Yumeshima Ward, Shirokita Ward, Semba Ward, Uemachi Ward

-- Myakumya Ward, Kita Ward, Minami Ward, Harukas Ward

The second set seems like the most sensible. Most people I talk to refer to those general areas by those major train station names anyway. “Shin-Osaka” not so much, though, and looking at the options, I kind of think “Myakumya” is the best choice for that area, which contains the site of the former Expo. I would have said “Yodogawa,” but they put that meaningless “Osaka” in front of it for some reason, so “Myakumya” it is!

Reaction to the name online was mixed but significantly leaning towards the opinion that naming a municipal district after a gooey creature is a bad idea.

“It would be embarrassing to have to write ‘Myakumyaku’ on official documents.”

“Eh, I don’t live there, so I say go for it!”

“I think if they really own it wholeheartedly, it could become a good thing.”

“I think Governor Yoshimura said flat out on a livestream that it’ll never happen.”

“I like Myakumya-ku, it sounds like a land of magical monsters.”

“We can’t do that. We’d be the laughing stock of future generations.”

“They should call it Neo-Kobe.”

“The people who have to live there should have the biggest say in that.”

“Say goodbye to property values there.”

“I can’t wait to hand out business cards that say I’m from Myakumya-ku.”

“I’m expecting Fah Ward to come up soon too.”

“I live here, and I really hate this idea.”

Ultimately, we probably should respect the wishes of people who live in Myaku-Myaku Land, because they deserve to live with dignity too. Quite frankly though, Shin-Osaka (literally “New Osaka”) sounds like some kind of sci-fi Evangelion setting, and it would just be plain wrong since it’ll literally have become old Osaka at that point. Yumeshima is also the site of an upcoming integrated resort and casino, so do people really want their special ward to be named after that?

I think the people there just need to marinate on the idea a bit, and they’ll come to realize that Myakumya Ward really is the only sensible choice here.

CUBA ELECTRIC WITHDRAWS APPLICATIONS FOR HAMAOKA NUCLEAR REACTORS RESTART - NAGOYA JAPAN

CUBA ELECTRIC WITHDRAWS APPLICATIONS FOR HAMAOKA NUCLEAR REACTORS RESTART - NAGOYA JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

NAGOYA

Chubu Electric Power Co on Friday submitted necessary documents to withdraw its applications for regulatory screening to restart two of the reactors at the Hamaoka nuclear power plant in Shizuoka Prefecture, central Japan.

The decision comes after an investigative committee of outside lawyers concluded earlier in the month that the utility manipulated seismic data during screening for the restart of the Nos. 3 and 4 reactors at the power plant.

The company decided on Sept 14 to withdraw the applications. At a press conference that day, Chubu Electric President Kingo Hayashi said the findings had raised serious doubts about the reliability of the applications.

"It would be inappropriate to let the original applications stand," he said.

The utility applied for regulatory screening of the two reactors in 2014 and 2015.

BEAR GETS ON FISHING BOAT, DOZES OFF BEFORE FALLING INTO SEA IN MIYAGI - SENDAI TOKYO JAPAN

BEAR GETS ON FISHING BOAT, DOZES OFF BEFORE FALLING INTO SEA IN MIYAGI - SENDAI TOKYO JAPAN 

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

SENDAI

A bear climbed aboard a moored tuna fishing boat via its gangway and appeared to have dozed off before falling overboard and disappearing into the sea in the northern Japan city of Shiogama, Miyagi Prefecture, local police said Sunday.

Three crew members who were on the boat took refuge in a locked room and were unharmed.

According to the police, a bear approximately one meter tall boarded the boat in the fishing port around 8:30 p.m.

It appeared to have fallen asleep on the bow and has not been seen since falling into the sea after 1 a.m., the police quoted the crew as saying. There had been reports of bear sightings in the area since Friday, the police said.

Elsewhere in Miyagi's Iwanuma, a train struck a bear late on Saturday, causing a temporary service suspension and delaying around 30 passengers on the Joban Line, JR East said. None of the crew or passengers were injured.

The bear became trapped under the train and it took nearly two hours for service to resume as workers removed the animal's dead body from under the cars, it said. Two trains in each direction were delayed, affecting about 490 passengers.

GANG OF ANGRY MONKEYS SURROUNDS AND ATTACKS MAN IN HOT SPRING TOWN - TOKYO JAPAN

GANG OF ANGRY MONKEYS SURROUNDS AND ATTACKS MAN IN HOT SPRING TOWN - TOKYO JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

The town of Yugawara in Kanagawa Prefecture seems like it should be a very tranquil place. A seaside hot spring town, with baths and inns dotting the cityscape as it stretches up into the mountains as you head inland, it’s the sort of setting that entices you to get up early and go for a nice stroll, and that’s how last Thursday started off for one local resident in his 40s.

Unfortunately, at about 6:50 in the morning, as he was walking past the entrance to one of the town’s inns, the man was suddenly surrounded by a group of roughly a dozen antagonists. When you find yourself outnumbered to that degree, ordinarily the smart thing to do is to try to talk your way out of the situation. That wasn’t an option, though, because the man was surrounded by angry monkeys.

The animals advanced on the man, biting him several times on his hands before he could either get away or scare them off, and after reporting the incident he was taken to the hospital for treatment for his injuries.

▼ Monkeys on the streets of Yugawara

The trouble that had found the man this day came in the form of violent members of the group known as Troop T1, and if you’re thinking that a group of monkeys needs to acquire a certain degree of infamy, or at least notoriety, before a town gives them a name, you’re right. Monkeys in Yugawara have been growing increasingly bold. As you can see in the above video, they’re not limiting themselves to forested areas, with many of the animals now feeling comfortable roaming around more developed parts of the town. In 2025, there were over 900 reported incidents of monkeys behaving in an aggressive or intimidating manner towards human residents of Yugawara, including a farmer who said he was accosted by a group of monkeys in his field while harvesting melons and citrus fruits.

▼ Video from last winter, demonstrating how little apprehension some of the monkeys feel around people. In addition to raiding gardens, the animals have broken into homes by tearing through screen doors or prying open sliding glass ones.

As a hot spring town, tourism is a vital part of Yugawara’s economy, and as a rural town, many of its residents are elderly. Troop T1 preying on unsuspecting tourists or defenseless senior citizens. Since at least last year, the city administration has been seeking authorization from the Kanagawa prefectural government to capture all of Troop T1, but permission to do so has yet to be finalized.

It’s not clear what’s causing the increased aggression from the animals. Decades ago, it wasn’t uncommon for tourists to bring food into the Yugawara foothills to feed the monkeys with, which could erode the animals’ fear of humans and see them, and their living spaces, as sources of sustenance, but this has become far less prevalent than it used to be. All the same, the local authorities have reminded everyone to neither feed nor provoke the monkeys, and to contact the police should they spot groups of the animals in town.

JAPAN ELDERLY POPULATION MAKES UP RECORD 29% - TOKYO JAPAN

JAPAN ELDERLY POPULATION MAKES UP RECORD 29% - TOKYO JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

Japan's population aged 65 or older accounted for a record 29.6 percent of the total, the government estimated Sunday, with the proportion remaining the highest among countries with populations exceeding 40 million.

The elderly population totaled a record 36.24 million -- 15.71 million men and 20.54 million women -- up 20,000 from a year earlier, the Ministry of Internal Affairs and Communications said ahead of Japan's Respect for the Aged Day on Monday.

The ministry said in September last year that the elderly proportion stood at 29.4 percent, which was also the highest among other countries. The proportion hit an all-time high for the third time, following 2022 and 2024.

Among 39 countries with populations of 40 million or more, Japan was followed by Italy, where 25.6 percent of the population was aged 65 or older, Germany at 24.2 percent and France at 22.9 percent. Those aged 75 or older accounted for 17.7 percent of Japan's population, the highest proportion among nine major countries, followed by Italy at 13.3 percent.

Japan's elderly population is expected to rise to 39.45 million, or 36.3 percent of the total, in 2045 as the 1971-74 second baby boom generation ages into the category, according to the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research.

TYPHOON APPROACHES EASTERN JAPAN, PROMPTING FLOOD AND LANDSLIDE WARNINGS - TOKYO JAPAN

TYPHOON APPROACHES EASTERN JAPAN, PROMPTING FLOOD AND LANDSLIDE WARNINGS - TOKYO JAPAN 

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

A powerful typhoon was approaching Japan's Pacific coast on Monday, bringing torrential ‌rain, violent winds and a heightened risk of landslides across the Kanto region and other parts of eastern Japan, the weather ‌agency said.

The Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) warned that ⁠conditions could deteriorate rapidly as Typhoon Dujuan, the season's 25th, ⁠was forecast ⁠to pass close to the Tokyo metropolitan area ‌later in the day.

Heavy rain has already drenched the Izu Islands ⁠and parts of ⁠Japan's Pacific coast, with some locations recording more than 300 mm of rainfall since Saturday, prompting authorities to issue the highest-level landslide emergency warning ⁠for the town of Oshima in the Izu ⁠Islands, about 110 km south of Tokyo.

The JMA said downpours could intensify from Monday afternoon as the typhoon nears the Kanto region, an area that includes Tokyo and surrounding prefectures.

At the ‌Asian Games in central Japan's Aichi Prefecture, organisers postponed the equestrian eventing competition until Tuesday due to the approaching typhoon.

Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi's departure for New York to attend the U.N. General Assembly was delayed by four hours because of the storm, with the government ​saying she would now leave Tokyo at 11 p.m.

Authorities cautioned that linear rain bands ‌could form over Kanto and central Japan, sharply raising the risk of flash floods and other rain-related disasters.

Linear bands, which have become ‌a growing concern in Japan in recent years, can ⁠dump extraordinary amounts of ⁠rain over a narrow area ​for several hours.

Typhoon Dujuan comes amid a ⁠year of extreme ‌weather events around the world, with unusually ​intense rainfall, flooding and tropical cyclones affecting regions from East Asia to North America and Europe.

FLIGHTS SCRAPPED, EVACUATIONS URGED AS TYPHOON NEARS TOKYO AREA - TOKYO JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

Hundreds of flights were cancelled and more than one million people were under evacuation advisories in Japan on Monday as Typhoon Dujuan approached Tokyo, potentially bringing record rainfall.

Japan often sees strong typhoons in the late summer and early autumn, and other storms have already disrupted some events at the Asian Games being hosted in the country.

Dujuan, the season's 25th typhoon, was bringing winds of around 144 kilometers per hour on Monday as it moved to around 130 kilometers south of Katsuura City in Chiba Prefecture.

Japan Airlines cancelled 135 flights and All Nippon Airways scrapped 140, while more than 9,000 households near Tokyo were without power.

More than 1.6 million residents in and around the capital were urged to evacuate, according to the Fire and Disaster Management Agency. The evacuations are not mandatory.

Landslide warnings were issued for Tokyo as well as for Chiba, Kanagawa and Shizuoka prefectures. Railway operators in Tokyo and neighboring regions suspended services on some lines.

In areas where warnings have been issued, "there's a risk the rain will continue as the typhoon moves north", Takuya Hosomi of the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) told reporters.

The JMA warned on Sunday that rain and winds were expected to intensify even before the typhoon's arrival.

"The total rainfall through Tuesday could exceed the average monthly rainfall for September, resulting in record-breaking heavy rain," the agency said.

One person has already been mildly injured and nine houses have been damaged due to the typhoon.

The typhoon also forced the early closure of the Tokyo Game Show, one of the world's biggest video-game trade fairs, on Monday, its final day.

A major outdoor music festival and a baseball match both scheduled to be held in Chiba were also cancelled.

Social media posts showed images of roads in front of Kamakura station, a popular sightseeing spot, were flooded.

"There is flooding in various parts of the city, so travelling by car is dangerous," Kamakura City Mayor Takashi Matsuo said on X.

JAPAN POLICE PANEL STARTS TALKS TO ALLOW MORE FOREIGN SECURITY WORKERS - TOKYO JAPAN

JAPAN POLICE PANEL STARTS TALKS TO ALLOW MORE FOREIGN SECURITY WORKERS - TOKYO JAPAN

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

Japan's police agency on Wednesday launched an expert panel to consider allowing more foreign nationals to work in the private-sector security service industry as it struggles with labor shortages and an aging workforce.

The National Police Agency said the panel will examine whether people with Specified Skilled Worker or Employment for Skill Development status should be allowed to take security jobs.

Under current rules, foreign nationals can work in the industry only if they hold certain residence statuses, such as long-term resident status.

"The labor shortage in the security industry is particularly severe," said Yoshitaka Yamada, head of the agency's Community Safety Bureau.

He added that the panel, which includes university professors and representatives of industry groups, should discuss how the industry should accept foreign workers.

The panel plans to compile a report by January 2027. Based on its recommendations, the police agency will consult the Justice Ministry and the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare on the details of any new framework.

According to data cited by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry, the job-to-applicant ratio for security-related occupations stood at 6.55 in 2025, meaning there were 655 openings for every 100 job seekers, compared with 112 across all occupations. In 2024, 47 percent of security guards were aged 60 or older.

BEAR SPOTTED NEAR TOKYO'S MOST POPULAR HIKING MOUNTAIN TRAIL - TOKYO JAPAN

BEAR SPOTTED NEAR TOKYO'S MOST POPULAR HIKING MOUNTAIN TRAIL - TOKYO JAPAN 

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

Fall is, by far, the best time of year to go hiking in Japan. Free from worries about the snows of winter, the hay fever-triggering pollen of spring, or the debilitating heat and humidity of summer, a stroll along a mountain trail is one of the best ways to spend a crisp, clear autumn day. You don’t even have to venture all that far from the big city to find good hiking. Mount Takao is only an hour train ride west of the Tokyo city center, and the 599-meter-tall mountain makes for a fun and accessible trek, taking about two hours to hike to the summit and another 90 minutes or so to get back down.

However, officials are calling for visitors to Tokyo’s favorite day-hike destination to be cautious, following a bear sighting near its most popular trail.

Out of the multiple routes to the top of Takao, Trail 1 is the most popular. Also called the Omotesando Route, it takes you through a nice mixture of natural scenery and man-made landmarks, such as the atmospheric Yakuoin Temple. On Wednesday, though, Hachioji City, the district of Tokyo in which Mount Takao is located, announced that video from observation cameras installed on the mountain had shown an adult Asian black bear near the trail.

▼ Mount Takao’s Trail 1

The bear’s presence didn’t come to light until sometime after the fact, with volunteers noticing it on video recorded at around 11 p.m. on August 20. The sighting was reported to the central Tokyo Metropolitan Government, who confirmed that the animal seen in the images was indeed a black bear and then informed Hachioji City.

It should be noted that the animal was roughly 70 meters from the path, and bears have been known to inhabit the area. Still, this is evidently closer than bears usually get to Trail 1.

▼ The bear was reported as being seen in the vicinity of where Trail 1 crosses over the expressway’s Takasosan Tunnel, which wouldn’t be far from the section seen here, which is about a 30 to 40-minute walk from the start of the trail.

With the bear having come closer to the trail than normal, and also bear attacks in general becoming more frequent in recent years, Hachioji officials are understandably concerned, especially as upcoming autumn holidays and the changing colors of the fall leaves will be drawing many people to the mountain in the weeks to come. They’re advising that visitors avoid hiking in early morning, evening, and nighttime hours, to hike with a friend or as part of a group, and to attach either a bell or a radio to their bag or belt, all to prevent startling any bears and triggering an aggressive response.

TRAVELERS' CROWD AIRPORTS, STATIONS AT START OF JAPAN'S SILVER WEEK HOLIDAYS - TOKYO JAPAN

TRAVELERS' CROWD AIRPORTS, STATIONS AT START OF JAPAN'S SILVER WEEK HOLIDAYS - TOKYO JAPAN  

@Jr_Paku Midin Channel

TOKYO

Travelers crowded airports and major train stations in Japan on Saturday at the start of the Silver Week autumn holidays, with the five-day stretch the longest in 11 years.

The number of train passengers between Friday and the last day of the holidays on Wednesday will nearly match those typically seen in the New Year and summer holiday seasons, according to six regional companies of the Japan Railways Group.

Many of the flights from Tokyo's Haneda airport were fully booked on Saturday, airlines said.

While Hokkaido and Okinawa are popular destinations during the holidays, flights to Haneda were also crowded, they said.

"It is usually hard for me to take a block of leave so I appreciate the consecutive holidays. I want to enjoy the view of the Seto Inland Sea," said Shigeru Matsuyama, a 52-year-old Tokyo resident who was going on a bike trip along the popular Shimanami Kaido cycling road in western Japan.
