Hundreds of flights and bullet train services within Japan were canceled as severe tropical storm Krosa bore down on the country’s southwestern flank.

The transportation services were halted on forecasts for sustained winds of as much as 67 miles per hour (100 kilometers per hour) for a storm that’s set to make landfall Thursday, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.
