Typhoon 25 threatens Japan with heavy rain and transport delays
Typhoon 25 is projected to impact Japan during the Silver Week holiday period, with the most significant effects expected in the Kanto and Tokai regions between September 20 and 21. The Japan Meteorological Agency warns of warning-level heavy rain, strong winds, and high waves. In Kanto, rainfall could reach record levels, potentially exceeding a month's worth of average precipitation in a single day.
In Chiba Prefecture, there is a possibility of landfall on the Boso Peninsula. Local authorities have warned of landslides, flooding, and storm surges. Some events, such as a fireworks display at Tokyo German Village, have already been canceled, and the Rock in Japan Festival is monitoring the situation.
Transportation is expected to face major disruptions. JR East has warned of potential delays, route changes, or cancellations for several lines in the Tokyo metropolitan area, including the Shonan-Shinjuku and Utsunomiya lines. In Hachijojima, all flights to Haneda and several ferry services have been canceled, leading to local shortages of food supplies and a surge in hotel cancellations.
