This will be our first time experiencing a Typhoon, therefore what can we expect this weekend?
Do the cities in effect lock down for a large duration? Should we get some simple supplies, food etc? Or would the hotel assist in these situations?
Cheers,

Typically even with big typhoons, the major impact is that public transportation shuts down and re-opens 6 to 8 hours after the typhoon passes. No need for supplies if you're in an urban area. Rural and mountainous areas can sustain serious flooding and landslides. Wind and storm surge can be bad in Okinawa and Kyushu, but usually not an issue in Honshu.
