More than a thousand Japanese rescuers combed through crumbled houses and buried roads on Monday, two days after landslides tore through the seaside city of Atami, fighting against time and poor weather to search for roughly 80 people believed missing.

At least three people have been killed in Atami after torrential rain over the weekend - more than a usual July's worth in 24 hours some areas - touched off a succession of landslides, sending torrents of mud and rock ripping through streets.

"When I saw what had happened, I just wanted to cry." Naoto Date, an eyewitness, said in an interview. His neighbours had all been evacuated as a precaution, but he chose to stay at home as he had just returned from Tokyo where coronavirus infections are climbing again.
