Flights were cancelled and tens of thousands of people were advised to evacuate their homes on Tuesday as powerful typhoon Khanun approached Japan's southern Okinawa island chain, threatening torrential rains and high winds through Thursday.
Residents in a wide swathe of the tropical prefecture, a popular tourist destination some 1,600 km southwest of Tokyo, were advised to evacuate as the storm, with winds exceeding 200 kph , slowly moved northwest.
The storm is hitting during the peak summer tourist season, which this year has seen the number of visitors return to pre-pandemic levels. Okinawa is frequently hit by typhoons, but usually later in the year.
