At least 13 people were affected, and three were hospitalized.
The incident occurred at Kawasaki Station. Passengers suddenly felt unwell — they began coughing, struggling to breathe, and experienced heavy tearing. More than 20 ambulances were dispatched to the scene. It is being determined whether any Russian tourists are among the victims.
Service on one of the metro lines has been suspended. Emergency crews are carrying out decontamination at the station.
The area is popular with tourists due to its Buddhist temples.
