A strong typhoon is projected to make landfall near Tokyo soon, bringing rains to a country already hit by torrential flooding this summer. Our Earth-observing satellites saw Typhoon #Shanshan approaching the coast of Japan: https://go.nasa.gov/2OVznv1
Typhoon season spans some of the best months for travel in Japan. If a typhoon approaches Japan during your vacation you may see about a week of poor weather as the storm stirs things up in the Pacific. If a typhoon directly hits your area, you'll need to stay indoors for about a day. Domestic flights and trains may be canceled. International flights are usually prioritized and may be delayed or more rarely canceled.
