With the approach of Typhoon Ampil, also known as Typhoon No. 7 in Japanese, transportation routes across Japan have been severely affected.

Central Japan Railway announced that it will cancel the Tokaido Shinkansen services between Tokyo and Nagoya stations for the entire day on August 16.

Service between Nagoya and Shin-Osaka stations will also be significantly reduced and direct services with the Sanyo Shinkansen will also be cancelled.

To accommodate the cancellations, eight extra trains will be operated on August 15, in both directions on the line.

East Japan Railway also announced that some trains on the Tohoku, Joetsu, and Yamagata Shinkansen lines will be cancelled between 11AM and the last train on the 16th.

Additionally, Tokyo Metro announced that operations on the Tozai Line between Toyocho and Nishi Funabashi stations will be suspended from around noon on the 16th until the evening.

During this period, trains will turn back between Nakano and Toyocho stations and will operate with reduced frequency and at intervals of five to ten minutes.

While the operations of various train lines in Tokyo may not be directly affected by Typhoon Ampil, expect delays or cancelations as a result of the increased traffic.

In terms of air traffic, All Nippon Airways decided to cancel two flights between Haneda and Hachijojima in the Izu Islands for the afternoon of August 15.

Additionally, ANA has cancelled 280 flights to and from Haneda and Narita airports after 11AM on August 16, with Japan Airlines cancelling 191 flights.

These flight cancellations affect a total of more than 90,000 people.

Several toll highway companies are also looking to close roads on the 16th and are asking people to consider changing their travel plans accordingly.
