It has developed into a strong typhoon with a central atmospheric pressure of 980 hectopascals and was packing maximum sustained winds of 126 kilometers per hour near its center, with peak gusts of 180 kilometers per hour.
The agency forecasts that the typhoon will develop and reach the very strong level off the Shikoku region on Tuesday, packing maximum sustained winds of 162 kilometers per hour with peak gusts of 216 kilometers per hour.
Western through eastern Japan could experience severe weather conditions, with rain and winds intensifying on Tuesday and Wednesday.
Rough weather may also affect northern Japan on Wednesday and Thursday.
The typhoon may impact transportation and cause service suspensions. People are advised to stay updated on the latest information.
