It's supposed to make landfall here in the Kanto area (Tokyo and surrounding area) just a few hours from now on the morning of the 16th (Japan time), with heavy rains and winds gusting up to 90mph. The last time we had such dire warnings was when Number 18 came to Japan about a month ago. Surprisingly, there were strong winds in Tokyo, but nothing to speak of in my city 40 miles away, and almost no rain, but there were heavy rains in Fukushima.
