Plumbing overflowing; Building Management on vacations

So, I'm currently dealing with a bit of a situation in my Tokyo appartment where nothing in the downstairs bathroom drains. The sink and toilet overflows in the bathroom and we have a couple of centimeters of water there. Washing machine will absolutely not drain.

We had this situation last week too, so I can guarantee it's nothing on our end. The management company called professionals and they fixed the outside plumbing.

But this week, it's Obon so the entire Management company is on vacation and there's no emergency number 🙃

What do you think would be the best course of action? Can we call a plumber even if it's the cause of the problem is outside(the outside drains are also overflowing)? What should a tenant do if it's impossible to contact the landlord?
