Police agents said two people were swept away by the rivers, one in Noto village, and the other in Suzu city.
NHK informed that two of ten workers trapped near a landslide-hit tunnel died. The bodies were found under the rubble of a house collapsed by those landslides.
As a result of landslides and other damages caused by the rains, 115 villages in Ishikawa Prefecture were inaccessible, and thousands of households lost water service temporarily due to a series of cuts and damaged pipes.
Among the worst-hit regions are Noto village, and Wajima and Suzu cities.
