TOKYO, Jan 25 ― Heavy snow blanketed wide swathes of Japan today, snarling traffic, forcing hundreds of flight cancellations and disrupting train travel, leaving at least one person dead.
Snow was particularly heavy on the side of the nation facing the Sea of Japan, with the city of Maniwa in western Japan hit with a record 93cm in the 24 hours to 8.00am today. Domestic airlines including ANA and Japan Airlines cancelled more than 300 flights, while bullet train services were suspended or delayed in northern Japan, media reported.
Some 3,000 people were stranded at two train stations in the western city of Kyoto after snow and high winds forced service to be suspended on Tuesday, with some passengers forced to sleep on the floor at Kyoto's main station.
