Typhoon Nanmadol moved across the Japanese archipelago toward the Pacific and weakened to a low pressure system on Tuesday after pounding the southwest with heavy rain and triggering landslides, leaving two people dead, one missing and over 100 injured.

After travelling along the Sea of Japan coast, the typhoon moved through the northeastern region of the country's largest main island of Honshu early Tuesday, with the weather agency warning of strong winds, high tides and potential landslides in areas already hit by heavy rain.
