What travelers in Japan should know

Haneda Airport, located close to central Tokyo, handles a large volume of domestic flights as well as international services. Narita Airport, located in Chiba Prefecture, is one of Japan’s principal gateways for international visitors and long-haul flights. Disruptions at either airport can affect connections across the country, including onward journeys to popular destinations such as Osaka, Kyoto, Sapporo, Fukuoka, and Okinawa.

During typhoon conditions, airlines may cancel flights in advance to protect passengers and staff, while also allowing airports and aircraft to operate safely. Strong winds, heavy rain, reduced visibility, and possible transportation interruptions can all affect flight schedules. Even flights that are not officially canceled may face delays, gate changes, or difficult onward connections.

Passengers should confirm their flight status directly through their airline’s website or mobile application before leaving for the airport. Travelers should also check airport announcements and local railway information, as train and bus services connecting Haneda and Narita may be delayed or suspended during severe weather. Those with canceled flights should review airline policies regarding rebooking, refunds, and travel vouchers.

Japan’s airlines and airports are known for detailed operational updates and orderly assistance during weather-related disruptions. However, travelers are advised to allow extra time, avoid unnecessary journeys during dangerous conditions, and follow guidance issued by local authorities. The situation remains subject to change as Typhoon No. 25 approaches and its impact on Japan becomes clearer.
