Ichinomiya sits on Japan’s Pacific-facing Kanto/Tokai coastal plain, where the early-summer tsuyu rain front brings weeks of steady rain in June, and the peak typhoon season from August through October can deliver the year’s most intense rainfall in a single system.
Located on the Nobi Plain northwest of Nagoya, the city’s flat, low-lying terrain shares the same flood-prone geography as the wider Nagoya area. Because typhoon tracks and strength can shift within hours of approach, radar imagery is a core part of how residents and disaster-management agencies monitor a storm as it nears the coast. The Japan Meteorological Agency operates the national weather radar network covering Aichi. Learn more: Hurricane Season Radar Guide · Open the full Rain Map
