Japan is bracing for record rainfall from a powerful typhoon moving close to Tokyo
More than 1.6 million people across five prefectures are under evacuation orders
Some 300 flights have been cancelled and some train services suspended
Dujuan has sustained winds of 130km/h (80.8mph) and gusts of up to 194km/h. It could bring up to 350mm of rain to the Tokai region
The storm is the latest in a wave of storms in the Pacific, made more intense by this year's "super El Niño", which has warmed the ocean and fuelled the formation of storms
