Typhoon Jangmi crossed areas along the Pacific side of western and eastern Japan, producing floods and mudslides and injuring dozens of people, according to Kyodo News.
The storm made landfall at about 4:30 a.m. in the southern part of Wakayama Prefecture in western Japan. Before reaching the main island area, it had passed near Okinawa and Kagoshima prefectures during the previous two days.
Kyodo reported the typhoon’s effects on Wednesday in the historical context of June 2, 2026. Its account described the system as ripping through the Pacific-facing side of the country after the early-morning landfall. the cited report does not give a more precise location within southern Wakayama or state the typhoon’s strength, wind speeds, atmospheric pressure or direction of travel.
Flooding and mudslides were the two specific forms of damage identified. The report also said dozens of people were hurt, without providing an exact total, the severity of their injuries or the prefectures in which they were recorded. No deaths were mentioned in the cited account.
Path from the southwest
The storm’s reported sequence placed it near Okinawa and Kagoshima before landfall in Wakayama. Okinawa and Kagoshima were therefore part of Jangmi’s approach over two days, while Wakayama was identified as the site where the typhoon reached land at approximately 4:30 a.m. It then affected both western and eastern portions of Japan’s Pacific side.
The account links the storm’s passage directly with flooding, slope failures and injuries, but it does not break down the consequences by locality. It also does not identify rivers that overflowed, communities affected by mudslides, buildings damaged or transport services disrupted. The scale of inundation and the number of separate landslide locations are not specified.
No evacuation totals, emergency declarations or official warnings appear in the available material. Kyodo’s report likewise does not identify statements from Japan’s national government, prefectural authorities, police, fire departments or weather officials. The available information consequently records the storm’s path and broad effects rather than a full official assessment.
The timing establishes an early start to the typhoon’s impact in Wakayama. Landfall occurred before dawn, after the system had already moved near two prefectures farther southwest over the preceding days. From there, its reported reach extended along the Pacific side across western and eastern Japan.
By the time of Kyodo’s account, three immediate consequences had been established: flooding, mudslides and injuries affecting dozens of people. The evidence does not quantify property losses or describe recovery operations. It does, however, document Jangmi’s Wakayama landfall time, its earlier passage near Okinawa and Kagoshima, and its subsequent effects over a broad section of Pacific-facing Japan.
