  "summary": "A powerful typhoon, Typhoon Dujuan, is approaching Japan's Pacific coast, bringing torrential rain, violent winds, and a heightened risk of landslides across the Kanto region and other parts of eastern Japan, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA). The storm is forecast to pass close to the Tokyo metropolitan area later in the day, with heavy rain already drenching parts of the Izu Islands, Chiba Prefecture, and other Pacific coastal areas, with some locations recording over 300 mm (12 inches) of rainfall since Saturday. The JMA warns that conditions could deteriorate rapidly as the typhoon nears the Kanto region, an area that includes Tokyo and surrounding prefectures.",
