Typhoon season in Japan runs from June to December, but most typhoon activity occurs between the months of July and September. Another one is expected to come close to Japan next week. Southern parts of Japan, such as Okinawa and Kagoshima are particularly affected by these storms, but residents of any part of Japan are likely to experience one or more during their time here.

Japan Info Swap summarizes what to do if a typhoon is approaching and what to do if a typhoon strikes your area.
