Been watching it closely. We arrive into HND tomorrow afternoon, leave on Wednesday mid-day. My guess is that it's going to be wet in Tokyo, but not necessarily be affected in terms of transportation and such. Nagoya, Osaka, Kyoto, that's a different matter...

And here's a photo I snapped on the Sobu line on the way home:
Not that it's useful, since it mentions nothing of delays or cancellations on the Hachikō line.
Anyway, the forecast mentions rain in the Tokyo metro from tomorrow (Sunday) early afternoon through Tuesday at some point.

Tokaido Shinkansen trains will be cancelled between Shin Osaka and Nagoya throughout Tuesday (15th Aug)
The route between Nagoya and Tokyo will probably also be affected.

The shinkansen between Shin-osaka and Okayama as well as the vast majority of all other trains in Kansai are canceled as well. A few of the busiest lines and some of the private railways will still have limited local service but those could be cancelled as well depending on conditions.

So far, Tokyo weather has been unsettled, cloudy with sporadic rains, sometimes vicious ones. But everything is running normally. Tomorrow Tuesday should be possibly worse, but not the end of the world. But heading in/out West has not been a fun ride for many.
