The typhoon moved away from Japan's coast into the Pacific by Tuesday morning, allowing authorities to lift or downgrade most heavy rain and landslide warnings.
The Level 5 landslide special warning for Oshima in the Izu Islands was downgraded to Level 4 at 11 pm Monday as the peak of rainfall passed, however, authorities urged residents to remain in safe areas as saturated ground continued to pose a risk of delayed landslides.
Although the typhoon was moving away from Japan, flooding continued in parts of Chiba prefecture, near Tokyo. Landslides were also reported in Yokosuka in neighboring Kanagawa prefecture.
Separately, a 5.1 magnitude earthquake struck off southern Japan on Tuesday at around 1046GMT, according to the US Geological Survey.
