Japan is known as a country with many natural disasters, and typhoons are particularly noteworthy among them.
The typhoon season lasts from summer to fall, with a particular peak in September and October.
For tourists visiting Japan in October, it is very important to prepare for typhoons.
In this article, we will explain in detail the typhoon in Japan in October and provide advice for tourists to enjoy their trip safely.
Characteristics of the October typhoon
October is the last month of Japan's typhoon season, and many typhoons can pass through the Japanese archipelago.
The Nansei Islands and the Kyushu region are particularly susceptible to typhoons, and Honshu, Shikoku, and Okinawa are no exception.
Typhoons are accompanied by heavy rain, strong winds, and storm surges, and may cause disruptions in transportation and closure of tourist sites.
Effects of typhoons and precautions
The typhoon has a wide range of effects. In addition to natural disasters caused by strong winds and heavy rain, flight and railway operations may also be suspended, and tourist attractions may also be closed.
Tourists should pay attention to the following points:
Check weather information
Before traveling, be sure to check the weather information and understand the path of the typhoon.
You can get the latest information from the Japan Meteorological Agency and tourist information centers at travel destinations.
Transportation Operation Status
Flights and railways may be suspended due to typhoons.
It is safe to check the operation status in advance and consider alternative means of transportation.
Securing accommodation
Your schedule may change due to the typhoon, so be sure to reserve your accommodation in advance.
Also, it's a good idea to check the cancellation policy.
Safety measures during typhoons
Here are some safety measures tourists should take when a typhoon approaches.
Evacuate indoors
When a typhoon is approaching, don't force yourself to go outside and evacuate to a safe building.It's safe to spend time in a hotel or lodging facility.
Follow local instructions
Follow instructions from local authorities and accommodation to ensure safety.If an evacuation order is issued, it is important to move to an evacuation site as soon as possible.
Tourist spots during typhoon season
Here are some tourist spots you can enjoy even during typhoon season.
It's safe to choose a spot you can enjoy indoors or an area less affected by typhoons.
Museums and galleries
Museums and art galleries that can be enjoyed indoors can be enjoyed regardless of the weather.
The National Museum in Tokyo and the Kyoto National Museum in Kyoto are popular.
Shopping Malls
Large shopping malls not only protect against rain and wind, but they also have a variety of stores and restaurants, so you can enjoy all day long.I recommend places like Aqua City in Odaiba and Grand Front Osaka in Osaka.
Hot springs
Relaxing in a hot spring is also a good idea.If you visit hot springs in regions less affected by typhoons, such as Hakone and Beppu, you can refresh your mind and body.
Tourist information after the typhoon
After the typhoon has passed, the weather may stabilize and you may be able to enjoy beautiful scenery.
The autumn scenery is particularly beautiful, and it is also the season when the fall leaves begin.
Clear sky after typhoon
After the typhoon has passed, the weather may temporarily be very good. This is a great opportunity to enjoy the blue sky and fresh air.
NATURAL PARKS AND GARDENS
We also recommend visiting nature parks and gardens after the typhoon. The scenery during the season when fall foliage begins, such as Arashiyama in Kyoto and Shinjuku Gyoen in Tokyo, is exceptional.
summary
When visiting Japan in October, be sure to always check typhoon information and be prepared to enjoy your trip safely.
By making proper preparations and devising ways to enjoy sightseeing, you can fully enjoy the charms of Japan with peace of mind.
