I've been in some major rainstorms in Tokyo during typhoons although nothing ever catastrophic. Mind you I live in US now and I've only been there in Sept-Oct 1x or 2x over the past several years. I have family members living in various suburbs of Tokyo, and they've never experienced anything catastrophic. I don't know if it's due to Tokyo's geographical position or the fact that Tokyo area has invested heavily in floodwater management system. I don't know about Osaka too well, but remember that KIX got shut down and the KIX bridge got damaged and cars were getting flipped over during a typhoon last summer.
