Typhoon Talas approached eastern Japan on Saturday, bringing heavy rains and killing one person a week after another major storm battered the country.

A man was killed after his house was hit by a landslide in Kakegawa, Shizuoka prefecture, public broadcaster NHK reported. In a separate landslide in Hamamatsu, also in Shizuoka prefecture, three people including a nine-year-old boy suffered light injuries.

Typhoon Talas was churning near the northeast of the country, 100 kilometers off the coast of Omaezaki at 6 a.m. local time, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency. The agency has issued warnings about high waves, heavy rains, landslides and floods in central, eastern and northern Japan, including Tokyo.
