NAGOYA - On September 6, athletes began arriving in Japan for the Asian Games, with competitors from Jordan and South Korea among those entering through Chubu Centrair International Airport in Tokoname, Aichi Prefecture. The Games, running from September 19 to October 4, are anticipated to draw over 15,000 athletes and participants, surpassing initial projections.
Scheduled sports total more than 40. Typhoon No. 24, or Krovahn, was positioned northeast of Minami-Daito Island and expected to make landfall by late September 7, bringing strong winds, high waves, and rain before dissolving into a tropical depression that could further intensify autumn rains across western and eastern Japan. Japan's rail operators have warned of service disruptions through the morning of September 7 due to heavy rain affecting Shinkansen and commuter lines, with some trains facing cancellation, reduced operations, and altered departure times on parts of the Tokaido Line.
