Typhoon Season in Japan: What Should You Check Around Your Home?

Hello!
This is Norika, your Tuesday blog contributor.

September is here, which means it’s also time to think about typhoon season in Japan.

Rather than waiting until a typhoon is approaching, it’s a good idea to regularly check the condition of your home and make sure you’re prepared.

Here are some important areas to check:

* Storm shutters — Make sure they open and close properly.
* Windows and screens — Check for damage or loose parts, and make sure windows can be securely locked.
* Garden and balcony — Bring loose outdoor items inside or secure anything that could be blown away.
* Gutters and drains — Remove leaves and debris so heavy rain can drain properly.
* Roof and exterior walls — If you notice any damage, consider having it inspected before severe weather arrives.
* Previous water stains or moisture — After heavy rain, check whether there have been any changes around ceilings, walls, or windows.

This is especially important for international homeowners who don’t live in Japan throughout the year.

If you’re overseas when a typhoon arrives, you may not be able to check your property yourself. It’s worth thinking in advance about who can check on your home while you’re away.

Features such as storm shutters may seem like small details when buying a home, but during severe weather, they can play an important role in protecting your property.

When choosing a home in Japan, it’s worth looking beyond the layout and design and also considering how well the property is prepared for Japan’s weather and natural conditions.
