At least 10
people have been killed by Typhoon Jebi, BBC reports.
Jebi left a trail of destruction across the west of the country, hitting major
cities like Kyoto and Osaka.
Flights, trains and ferries were cancelled but thousands of passengers stranded
at Osaka's international airport have since been evacuated.
At least 300 people have been injured as a result of the typhoon.
As of Wednesday morning, evacuation advisories had been issued for more than
1.2 million people.
Nearly 800 flights were cancelled, including international flights at Nagoya
and Osaka.
On Wednesday, travellers stranded at Osaka's Kansai International Airport were
being ferried by boat to another local airport. As many as 3,000 people had
been stranded at the airport after a tanker crashed into the bridge connecting
it with the mainland.
The airport had seen its runways and basements flooded and will remain closed
throughout today, September 5.
