Severe winter storms that brought strong winds and heavy snows across Japan turned roads icy, caused a train to derail and disrupted air travel on Tuesday. Two people died in weather-related accidents while hundreds more were reported injured in car crashes.
A severe cold front this week has moved across the length of Japan from southwestern Kyushu to its northernmost tip of Hokkaido. The harsh conditions caused a train carrying 400 passengers to derail Tuesday in northern Niigata prefecture (state). No one was injured. Services on bullet trains in the western and northern regions were delayed or suspended.
More than 150 domestic flights connecting Kyushu and northern Japanese cities were canceled, affecting 8,000 people, Kyodo News reported.
The cold snap had brought record snow falls to some areas, said Meteorological Agency spokesman Katsuaki Suzuki.
The Meteorological Agency predicted more snowfall of up to 36 inches in the northern Hokuriku region through Wednesday morning, warning local residents of possible snowslides on mountains and accidents due to poor visibility and frozen roads.
