By . James Rush . Cars were left teetering on the edge while other vehicles were washed away in a mountain mudslide in Japan. One person has been confirmed dead and 550,000 people have been told to evacuate after the car park was destroyed in the mudslide in Anan, Tokushima, Japan, yesterday. Guests at the YMCA Anan Kokusai Kaiyo Center were left trapped after the hostel's car park collapsed in the landslide. Scroll down for video . Cars are left teetering on the brink while other vehicles are washed away in a mountain mudslide in Japan . An evacuation advisory has now been issued to 550,000 people in the Kochi, Tokushima and Ehime regions. Devastation has struck across parts of south and eastern Asia in the last few days, with 410 killed in a devastating earthquake in China, while a landslide in Nepal has claimed the lives of at 19 people with more than 150 still missing. Rescue workers were forced to urgently evacuate tens of thousands of people in eastern India following the deadly landslide in neighbouring Nepal which blocked a river that could burst its banks and submerge scores of Indian villages. Authorities in Nepal said there was no hope that more than 150 missing people are still alive after being buried by piles of rocks, mud and upturned trees in Saturday's landslide in Mankha, about 75 miles east of Katmandu. Nineteen others are confirmed dead. But as disaster workers continued to clear the debris yesterday, the danger area moved downstream to eastern India, where 125,000 people are in peril. The landslide blocked a mountain river in Nepal, causing it to back up and form a massive lake that was threatening to overflow and flood the Indian villages. Guests at the YMCA Anan Kokusai Kaiyo Center were left trapped after the hostel's car park collapsed in the landslide . 'We are keeping our fingers crossed right now,' said Aniruddh Kumar, a senior disaster management official in India's Bihar state. He said it was not clear how much water might come down from the lake. The annual monsoon season, which runs from June through September, is vital for the largely agrarian economies of South Asia but every year also brings floods and landslides that kill thousands and submerge hundreds of villages. Another landslide hit in a village in eastern Nepal yesterday, killing four people and leaving six others missing. And the death toll from a massive landslide in western India last week rose to 108, according to rescue official Sandeep Rai Rathore. Meanwhile, some 10,000 troops used pickaxes and backhoes to clear roads and dig residents from collapsed homes today following an earthquake in southwest China that killed 410 people. Volunteer Jackson Zeng joined about two dozen classmates who headed to Yunnan province's Ludian county, where Sunday's 6.1-magnitude earthquake collapsed thousands of homes in an impoverished region of mountainous farmland. 'I grew up around here and these are my people. I'm not sure what I can do, but I will help any way that I can,' said Zeng, a third-year student at Kunming University of Science and Technology.

Paramilitary personnel with a backhoe and other heavy equipment pushed earth from a stretch of road affected by a landslide while Zeng and other students used their hands to push rocks over a cliff. Many hundreds of volunteers have converged on the nearby city of Zhaotong en-route to the quake-hit areas - a typical phenomenon during disasters in China. Many came empty-handed but some were formed into company-sponsored units complete with uniforms and their own relief aid to distribute. The government also has sent thousands of tents, quilts, sleeping bags and cotton coats to the region, as well as folding beds, chairs and tables, and mobile toilets. The quake struck an area of steep hills and narrow roads not suited to all the traffic of the massive relief effort and heavy rain today added to the complications. Much of the damage was due to landslides.
