TOKYO — A typhoon that blasted parts of Japan with more than 200-kilometer-per-hour winds moved out to sea on Saturday, mostly sparing the capital and allowing trains and some flights to resume.

Tokyo and its surrounding areas had been on high alert on Friday for Ampil's approach, with transport services, trips, events and classes canceled en masse.
