Japan is preparing itself for heavy rain, high waves, mudslides and gusty wind from this storm. The capital city is no exception. "In Tokyo... please exercise caution for landslides, flooding in low lying areas, surging rivers, violent wind and high waves," the weather agency said, according to AFP.
