Typhoon Shanshan, which began dumping rain across parts of Japan, caused a landslide on Wednesday, leaving one dead and several injured.

Weather officials issued the highest-level warnings, saying the typhoon is set to reach southern Kyushu and possibly make landfall Thursday, where it forecasts up to 60 centimetres (23.6 inches) of rainfall in 24 hours, and will bring strong winds, high waves and significant rainfall to most of the country, particularly the Kagoshima prefecture.

Authorities are concerned about extensive damage as the typhoon slowly sweeps up the Japanese archipelago over the next few days.
