Heavy rains caused the Arakawa River and Tone River to overflow.^[3] The areas of Tokyo, Gunma, Saitama, Tochigi, Ibaraki and Chiba suffered severe flood damage. In Gunma and Tochigi prefectures, debris flow and flooding of rivers occurred one after another, resulting in around 2000 deaths in both prefectures.^[3] Also, in the Tohoku region, the Kitakami River flooded, causing major damage at Ichinoseki City in Iwate Prefecture.^[3]^[4]

The resulting floods killed at least 1,692 people and left many more missing.^[5]
