TOKYO, Oct. 1 (Xinhua) -- A powerful typhoon tore through Japan on Sunday and Monday morning, leaving at least four people dead and 200 others injured while wreaking havoc on transportation systems.

According to the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA), Typhoon Trami first made landfall Sunday night and carved a path through western Japan and eastern and northern parts of Honshu including the wider Tokyo area.

The typhoon, the 24th of this season, then downgraded to an extratropical cyclone off the Pacific coast of Japan's northernmost prefecture Hokkaido by noon.

According to local reports, a truck driver was killed by a landslide in Tottori prefecture, western Japan, while another was confirmed dead in Yamanashi prefecture, west of Tokyo, after being found in a river. Two others in the prefectures of Shiga and Kyoto have also been confirmed dead.

In Miyazaki prefecture, southwestern Japan, a woman in her 60s has also been reported missing after being washed away by an irrigation ditch.

Public transport across the nation has been severely disrupted, with delays in Tokyo on Monday morning causing disruption as trains and power lines were checked.

East Japan Railway Co. canceled all of its train services in the Tokyo Metropolitan area at around 8:00 p.m. local time (1100 GMT) on Sunday and only partially resumed them by 9:00 a.m. (0000 GMT) Monday.

According to the company, such measures that involved alerting the public beforehand about the closure were unprecedented.

Central Japan Railway Co., meanwhile, suspended all Shinkansen bullet trains services on the Tokaido Shinkansen Line between Tokyo and Shin-Osaka after 5:00 p.m. (0800 GMT) Sunday.

The services were resumed around 7:30 a.m. (2230 GMT Sunday) Monday, the operator said.

Shinkansen trains between Shin-Osaka and Hiroshima were also suspended as were numerous local rail services.

Kansai International Airport in Osaka, already battered by a typhoon in September, reopened Monday morning after being closed since from 11:00 a.m. (0200 GMT) Sunday, the airport's operator said, though many of the flights had been canceled.

More than 280 flights were canceled on Monday as huge cancellations of flights a day earlier has made it difficult for major airlines to arrange aircraft.

As of 10:00 p.m. local time Monday (1300 GMT), 550,000 households across Japan were still without power, including some 278,000 households in the Shizuoka prefecture near Tokyo, for which it might take several days to restore power.

Japan has been hit by a series of typhoons this year, including Typhoon Jebi, which ravaged western Japan last month and left at least 11 people dead while paralyzing for a time the Kansai International Airport in Osaka.
