TOKYO—Typhoon Nanmadol, one of the biggest storms to hit Japan in years, killed at least two people and brought ferocious winds and record rainfall to the west of the country on Monday, causing transport disruptions and forcing manufacturers to suspend operations.
Prime Minister Fumio Kishida delayed his departure to New York for the U.N. General Assembly this week to assess the damage from Japan’s 14th typhoon of the season.
