Typhoon Lionrock just hit Japan today. This is the third one within a week after Typhoon Mindulle and Typhoon Kompasu.

Keep yourself updated with their weather alerts.

Seems all the news here are late. Typhoon 10 (Lionrock) already left Japan late last night and is now out in the Sea of Japan side. However, some northern parts of Tohoku and parts of Hokkaido will still be experiencing strong winds and rain today.

I thought it was hit this morning our time (like wee hours in the morning). Didn't see exact timing lol.

Thank you for sharing! Looks like the storm did not affect area like Sapporo/Otaru/Yoichi.
But it is affecting area like Furano/Biei

Actually 10th sep to be exact. I hope everything dies down by then.

In Lake toya now. Got stuck in lift. Hotel staff say not electricity because of typhoon. Yesterday and today.

Typhoon is common around this time (Aug, Sept period).
Every year also got a few of those strong one that hit Japan. Some will even cause huge flooding in Tokyo.

That's the risk of going to Japan during their annual typhoon season. Better timing to go is Spring or Autumn where the weather is very mild (Not much rain), extremely slim chance of any typhoon.

spring and autumn might be too cold for some people

there is currently wide spread flooding and mudslides in parts of hokkaido in areas like furano and biei, and in some areas in iwate prefecture. I think the news reported like 11 people have died in this typhoon 10. for those coming to japan next week, do try to avoid those areas.

Japan has been hit by 3 different typhoons with a week. Seems to be a very rare occurrence.

August and September is Japan Typhoon season. Typhoon will start to die down in Oct then November onwards will be very mild weather.

This year considered very mild for typhoon. last year jma counted 27 typhoon

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/2015年の台風

This year so far only 12 typhoon

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016年の台風

now no.12 typhoon, last year this time already no.17.

That's why i say don't go japan during summer. lots of rain and typhoon.

summer also have things like matsuri, outdoor music fests, beach parties, fireworks....

spring season also have some festivals here and there. I like spring, normally weather is good enough for T-shirt, berms and sandals/sneakers. Rain will be a thing here and there just make sure to check the daily weather forecast. JMA service is like the most amazin in the world at predicting weather.

My upcoming trip is Autumn, it will be more chilly but I will live with that for the koyo

Tot sep is Autumn already? The Sapporo autumn food festival will start this week!
