The forecast for Saturday looks grim in Tokyo, and particularly so for farmers in Chiba (still reeling from last month’s assault by Typhoon Faxai).

“ In a rather unusual step, major chain Ito Yokado said it will close 124 outlets in Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, Saitama, Ibaraki, Gifu, Shizuoka and Aichi prefectures throughout Saturday. Department store Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings announced the same day that its Shinjuku, Ginza and Ebisu stores in Tokyo will close on Saturday as well.

Theme parks are no exception either. Tokyo Disneyland and Tokyo DisneySea will close on Saturday for the first time since the Great East Japan Earthquake struck in 2011, operator Oriental Land Co. said. Universal Studios Japan said its Osaka facility will do the same.”

I understand that the venerable Ameya Yokochou shopping area in Ueno will temporarily close as a precaution and that it’s the only time it has done so in response to a weather threat for at least 70 years.

In contrast, a typhoon that was predicted to hit Tokyo hard back in October 2002 did not provoke these levels of cautionary measures. I missed the worst of it safely ensconced within the Makuhari Messe in Chiba (the now Emperor was there too). It turned out that that typhoon wasn’t as bad as predicted, but even so, nobody was particularly anxious before it arrived.
That particular typhoon is covered in the “making of” documentary that accompanies the Lost In Translation movie.
