Flying through a typhoon is not a problem. Landing in one is. If the typhoon comes directly at NRT, there is probably a 2 or 3 hour gap when they can't land. Easy to circle or divert to NGO.

I had a flight (BA 744) where they tried to land in the eye of the typhoon. The 2 flights before ours got in, but we got waved off about 50 feet off the runway.
