Japan canceled hundreds of flights and many trains in the Tokyo area as it braced for the arrival of a very strong storm near the capital on Friday.
Typhoon Ampil has intensified over the last two days and has developed to the equivalent strength of a Category 4 hurricane as of Friday morning.
Japan's Meteorological Agency (JMA) classified the typhoon as being "very strong" and authorities have asked some 10,000 households to evacuate in some areas near Tokyo.
The storm is expected to bring heavy rains and winds as it passes by the island country.
As of Friday morning, the typhoon was situated off the Pacific coast of Japan's main island which is 300 kilometers (190 miles) south of Tokyo.
Ampil has wind speeds of 45 meters per second with maximum gust of 60 meters per second (216 kph/134 mph), according to the JMA.
"The Kanto region is expected to experience fierce winds that could cause injuries from flying debris or even overturn trucks in motion," the JMA warned on its website.
