The downpours have come just two weeks after the region was hit hard by a powerful typhoon.
On Friday, landslides ripped through waterlogged areas in eastern and northeastern Japan, which were inundated by their third rainstorms in six weeks.
In some places, a month's worth of rain unleashed by a low pressure system fell in half a day.
Typhoon Hagibis recently killed at least 88 people, with seven others still missing and more than 300 injured.
