As of mid-afternoon on Sunday, 46 people in Tokyo had been taken to hospital with suspected heat stroke, public broadcaster NHK said.
Separately, a 94-year-old man in Kawagoe city, 20km northwest of Tokyo, died of suspected heat stroke after he was discovered unconscious in his non-air conditioned room on Saturday, NHK said.
Isezaki city, 85km northwest of Tokyo, logged Japan's highest temperature ever for June on Saturday, breaking above 40 degrees Celsius, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.
Japan's power supply has been tight with many of its nuclear power plants still shut after the tsunami and Fukushima nuclear disaster of 2011, while ageing thermal power plants are being closed in part to reach its goal to cut carbon dioxide emissions.
The country also faces a potential shortage of fossil fuels, including liquefied natural gas, due to the conflict in Ukraine and sanctions against Russia.
