With #Haishen forecast to be a large, intense typhoon at landfall, it may be time to review the strongest typhoons landing over Japan (excluding the Ryukyus).
The strongest one since 1951 was Nancy in 1961, with a central pressure of 925mb when it landed over Muroto.

The strongest one since WWII actually landed soon after the war ended - the Makurazaki Typhoon in 1945 (also known as Ida) had a recorded pressure of 916.1mb at landfall.
Japan has not seen ANY landfalling typhoon in the 930mb range since Typhoon Yancy in 1993.

JMA has set up an emergency warning system since 2013 for extreme weather events that occur once a few decades. For typhoons, the criteria are very strict - 930mb for the ones landing over the main Japanese islands and 910mb for those passing over the Ryukyus.

Bay of Bengal cyclones fifty years ago would routinely kill upwards of 100,000 people. Both Bangladesh & Orissa govts were forced to take it seriously by democratic movements. Good institutions arose from rubble.
