The day was dominated by escalating landslide warnings across the Izu Islands. Starting with a level 4 flood alert for Tokyo's Zenpukuji River, the Japan Meteorological Agency issued level 5 landslide special warnings for Niijima, Oshima, and Toshima islands, prompting emergency safety orders and evacuation advisories. Heavy rain also caused flooding in Chiba and Fukushima, where a woman died after her car was submerged in an underpass. The yen's appreciation to 154 against the dollar was a secondary economic story, while political coverage focused on Prime Minister Takaichi's planned cabinet reshuffle.
