TOKYO: A strong typhoon Friday churned over parts of western Japan already hit by deadly flooding last month, but while transport links were disrupted there were few immediate reports of injury or damage.

Typhoon Cimaron made landfall late Thursday and passed over the Japanese archipelago overnight, bringing winds of nearly 200 kilometers per hour (134 mph) and dumping up to 600 millimeters of rain in 48 hours, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.
