Rare Tokyo snow strands 10,000 at Narita airport

Here.

Excerpt:
Coastal regions have experienced Japan's deadliest winter in more than two decades, with at least 102 deaths recorded by Tuesday, with many of the victims crushed by snow or falling from buildings while clearing snow from roofs.

Most of the dead have been elderly people. The death toll is the highest since 1983-1984, when 131 people died in snow-related incidents.
