What Sailors Should Know About Japan’s Typhoon Season

Hi, I’m Lowell Sheppard, back on board Wahine here in Buren Bay, Japan — well, almost! I’m checking in after some time away and happy to report she’s stayed dry and mold-free. But let’s talk about typhoon season in Japan — it’s not over yet. Even in mid-October, Japan can still get hit hard. Whether you’re a cruiser, sailor, or planning to sail around Japan, remember: 🌪️ Typhoon season lasts longer than you think. ⚓ There’s no completely safe region — from Tokyo to the Seto Inland Sea. 🌀 I’ve been in the eye of a typhoon three times in five years — and learned a lot each time. If you’re preparing your boat or planning a passage in Japan, this one’s for you. #NeverTooLate to learn from the seas. 🌊 #SailingJapan #TyphoonSeason #Wahine #PacificSolo #CruisingLife #SailingAdventure #JapanSailing #BoatLife #OceanLife #SailboatLiving #NeverTooLate #LowellSheppard
