A powerful storm has hit central and western Japan, injuring at least 21 people and cutting power to tens of thousands of homes.
Typhoon Jongdari brought torrential rain and winds of up to 180km/h.
Weather officials have since downgraded it to a tropical storm, but warn that heavy rain could trigger landslides.
On Saturday, evacuation orders were issued to 36,400 people in the western city of Shobara, and 6,300 in the city of Kure.
