Depending on its path, there’s a risk of heavy rain, strong winds, and rough seas, especially in Okinawa, the Amami Islands, and coastal areas along the Pacific side of western to eastern Japan. If you’re traveling in these regions, be sure to monitor local forecasts and ferry/flight updates closely.
