Chiba

Mobara city in Chiba prefecture, which borders the capital Tokyo, recorded 392 millimetres of rain overnight into Saturday -- the largest amount to hit the city in a 24-hour span since the Japan Meteorological Agency began the survey in 1976.

The dog's incessant barking alerted people and staff of the park, who rushed to check what had happened.

A 5.9-magnitude earthquake hit Japan Saturday evening outside of Tokyo, swaying buildings in the capital, but no tsunami warning was issued.

A baby's day out at the zoo quickly turned into stuff of nightmares when a 185 kg lion charged at him, with full force, only to be stopped by the glass wall of its enclosure. The terrifying incident was caught on camera and is currently going viral all over social media.

The Chiba Cancer Center announced that a woman in her 30s had a breast removed unnecessarily after it mixed up test samples from two patients.

The quake hit at 8:44pm local time (1144 GMT) at a depth of 63 kilometres, in the Chiba prefecture which neighbours Tokyo.

At least 13 people are known to have died after a powerful typhoon lashed Japan's Pacific coast, police said today, warning that the death toll was likely to rise.

More than one million Japanese took part in a national disaster drill Sunday as the country assessed its emergency readiness in the wake of a massive quake and tsunami in 2011.
