The typhoon made landfall on the tip of the Kii peninsula, south of Osaka, shortly after 5:00 pm (0800 GMT), and was expected to cut across Japan’s main island of Honshu, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
It was moving northeast at 65 kilometres (40 miles) per hour.
“The typhoon’s force may not gain any more but we think the wind and rain will get stronger. It is picking up speed,” an official at the agency said.
The typhoon, named Guchol — meaning “turmeric” in a Micronesian language, — packing winds of up to 180 kilometres per hour, was projected to move over Honshu, including Tokyo, overnight and go out into the Pacific again Wednesday morning, the agency said.
The town of Nachikatsuura, some 400 kilometres southwest of Tokyo, ordered nearly 1,600 residents to evacuate, warning of the danger of landslides brought on by heavy rain, public broadcaster NHK said.
Airlines have cancelled around 200 domestic flights so far because of the strong winds, NHK said.
