Image source, Reuters One of the biggest typhoons ever to strike Japan has made landfall on the southern island of Kyushu.
Kyushu is the southernmost of the four islands that make up the main body of Japan and has a population of more than 13 million people.
It is expected to travel up through central Japan towards Tokyo over the coming days and to maintain much of its strength as it moves.
Speaking on Saturday, an official from Japan's meteorological agency said it had the potential to be worse than both Typhoon Jebi in 2018, which left 14 people dead, and Typhoon Hagibis, which caused widespread power cuts in 2019.
