Videos circulating on social media showed massive flooding at Ichigaya Station, while other clips showed water gushing down stairs and breaking through a cover at National Stadium Station, which was closed due to flooding.
Additionally, images from Tokyo's Shinjuku district showed how pressure on sewer pipes became too high, causing water to gush into the street and loosen manholes.
The heavy rain overwhelmed the city's infrastructure, causing widespread chaos and severe damage.
In Tokyo's Shinjuku district, heavy rain caused massive flooding, causing manhole covers to come off. A viral video captured the dramatic sight of an over-pressurized sewer exploding water explosively into the street.

There were reports of disasters in many places. Quotes circulating on the Internet indicate that light rain had begun falling at many Tokyo stations.
