Flooding and mudslides strand hundreds of people in scenic hot springs and hiking areas in central Japan. Rescue workers are continuing to search for people missing in the disaster that already has killed nearly 60 people.

A landslide is seen near an exit of a highway in Kyoto, western Japan Thursday, July 9, 2020. Pounding rain spread to central Japan and triggered mudslides.

More than 300 people, including hotel employees and visitors, were trapped in Kamikochi, as floods and mudslides hit a main road connecting the town to Matsumoto, another tourist destination in Nagano. All of the stranded people were safe, prefectural officials said.In neighboring Gifu, hundreds were also isolated in the hot spring towns of Gero and Ontake.

Floodwaters also ravaged local vegetables and fish almost ready for shipment to consumers. An eel culturing farm in Kagoshima was hit by rains just before Japan’s “unagi” season later this month. “I can’t ship them, or even go near the place to feed them or change the water,” eel grower Kazuya Kusuda told TBS television.

Kumamoto on Thursday started accepting dozens of volunteers to help residents clean their homes, but they could only be from within the prefecture and temperature checks and masks were required due to the coronavirus concerns.
