Authorities issued the extreme heat warnings after the temperature reached 40C for the first time this year on Sunday as the country sweltered in the grip of another heatwave.
Shizuoka in central Japan reported a temperature of 40C on Sunday, one of 245 locations to reach 35C or over a level officially recognised as "extremely hot".
The temperature in Shizuoka was the city's highest since records began in 1940, according to the Japan Times.
The meteorological agency warned this year that temperatures were expected to be higher than average again this summer, perhaps exceeding those recorded last summer, which was the hottest on record.
