WellBe Inc.
August in Japan is in the middle of typhoon season. Tourists need knowledge and preparation about typhoons when visiting Japan during this period.
This article details basic typhoon information, effects, and countermeasures for tourists visiting Japan in August.
What is a typhoon in Japan?
A typhoon is a type of tropical cyclone that occurs over the Pacific Ocean, and is accompanied by strong winds and heavy rain.
In particular, August is a time when many typhoons approach Japan and there is a high possibility that they will make landfall.
Typhoons can cause large-scale natural disasters, and disruptions in transportation and temporary closure of tourist sites may occur.
Characteristics of the August typhoon
August is one of the months with the most typhoons, and their effects spread all over the country.
In particular, Okinawa and the Kyushu region are often passageways for typhoons, so be careful.
Below are the characteristics of the August typhoon.
Frequency of occurrence
On average, 3 to 5 typhoons occur in August.
career path
It often progresses from southwest to northeast, and affects Okinawa, Kyushu, Shikoku, and Honshu.

It is accompanied by strong winds and heavy rain, and sometimes it becomes a storm.
Effects of typhoons
When a typhoon approaches or makes landfall, there will be various effects on tourism.
Transportation Effects
Airplanes, bullet trains, trains, ferries, etc. may be suspended or delayed.
When planning your trip, always check the status of transportation services.

Check the weather forecast frequently before and during your trip.

Preparing emergency contacts
It is safe to check the contact details of the hotel or embassy where you are staying beforehand.
Also, be sure to check your local emergency number.
Preparing emergency supplies
It's a good idea to prepare emergency goods just in case, such as rain gear, cell phone chargers, emergency food, drinking water, etc.
Gathering Local Information
Gather the latest local information from tourist sites and accommodation staff.
They provide detailed and appropriate advice on how to prepare during typhoons.
How to enjoy sightseeing in Japan during typhoons
While the typhoon is approaching, we recommend enjoying indoor activities.
Museums
Many cities have fascinating museums and galleries.
Since you can spend time indoors, you can enjoy it without worry even during typhoons.
Shopping Malls
Large shopping malls and department stores offer not only shopping, but also plenty of restaurants and entertainment facilities.
Hot Springs
One way is to relax at a hot spring facility unique to Japan.
Choose an indoor hot spring that is less susceptible to typhoons.

August in Japan is a time when tourists need to be careful.
However, by gathering the right information and taking measures, you can enjoy a safe and enjoyable trip.
It is important to check the weather forecast frequently, gather local information, and make flexible travel plans.
I hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable trip.
Please prepare well for the typhoon and fully enjoy the charms of Japan.
