Temperature topped 36 Celsius degrees in some parts of Tokyo, and according to the Tokyo Fire Department, as of 9:00 p.m. local time, 174 people were sent to hospitals due to the heat.

In the western town of Ibigawa in Gifu Prefecture, temperature reached the year's record high of 39.3 Celsius degrees.

A total of five people in the prefectures of Niigata, Aichi, Shizuoka and Mie died from the heat as of Monday night, according to Japan's Kyodo News.
