Tropical Storm Shanshan has wreaked havoc in Japan as it slowly moves northeast towards the capital, Tokyo. The storm has resulted in tragic consequences, including a mudslide that claimed the lives of three individuals and caused significant disruptions across the country.

With winds reaching up to 65 kilometers per hour, the storm has brought torrential rains reminiscent of a waterfall to major cities like Osaka and Tokyo. The slow-moving nature of the storm has led to prolonged periods of intense rainfall, affecting regions across Japan.
