Heavy rainfall triggered a landslide that blocked the main road to Mount Fuji in Shizuoka prefecture, as reported by local broadcaster TBS. The incident occurred after several hours of continuous rain, which the Japan Meteorological Agency said continued into Wednesday morning. Debris from the landslide swept over three vehicles at the site, but no injuries or fatalities were reported. As a precaution, authorities closed the Fuji Subaru Line, the primary road leading up the mountain, due to the ongoing heavy rain. Separately, emergency services discovered two unconscious climbers on Mount Fuji’s trails, according to Kyodo News. Shizuoka prefectural police deployed a mountain rescue team to the location, but there was no confirmed connection between the hikers and the landslide. Earlier in the week, a landslide in the town of Kawanehon on Tuesday night left a worker unconscious, who was later confirmed dead by local officials. In addition to the Mount Fuji landslide, torrential storms hit central Japan on Tuesday evening, causing flooding in Aichi and Gifu prefectures. According to Kyodo News, the storms injured 41 people. In Nagoya, public broadcaster NHK reported that the rainfall reached a record high of 104.5mm in one hour. The heavy rain disrupted transportation, leading to long lines of stranded commuters at central train stations. The Japan Meteorological Agency has warned that heavy rainfall is expected to continue through Wednesday afternoon, affecting large parts of the country from the northeastern to western regions. Residents and travelers are advised to remain cautious and follow updates from local authorities.
