What to do in October
Japan 7-day forecast (September 30-October 6)
This week, Japan's weather will be influenced by Typhoon Krathon and a low-pressure system moving through the Sea of Okhotsk. From October 2nd to 4th, high pressure will shift from the Yellow Sea to east of the Kuril Islands. Expect a trough of low pressure around Japan from October 5th to 6th.
Okinawa may experience strong winds and rough seas from Typhoon Krathon between October 2nd and 4th, with the potential for heavy rain and high tides. Northern Kyushu, southern Kyushu, and Amami regions could see rough seas around October 4th, depending on the typhoon's path. The weather might become stormy nationwide thereafter.
No current typhoon warnings issued for Tokyo
No typhoon warnings have been issued for mainland Japan this week. Okinawa may experience strong winds and rough seas from Typhoon Krathon between October 2nd and 4th, with the potential for heavy rain and high tides.
During a typhoon, transit delays and cancelations can be expected. Be sure to stay updated on the latest weather and flight information. For real-time updates on railways and airports, visit LIVE JAPAN's transport information page.
