Typhoon Ampil moving near Japan's main island of Honshu brought strong winds and rain in Tokyo early on Friday (August 16), disrupting bullet train operations in the peak summer travel season. The typhoon that is categorised as a very strong storm by the Japan Meteorological Agency (JMA) is moving 110 kilometres (68 miles) northeast of Hachijojima Island in the Pacific Ocean moving north at 20 kilometres per hour. Central Japan Railway cancelled all 'Shinkansen' bullet train services between Tokyo and Japan's industrial heartland of Nagoya on Friday.
