The typhoon is on track to hit the main island of Honshu early Tuesday.
On track to hit the main island of Honshu early Tuesday, Lan was expected to dump up to 40cm of rain in the 24 hours to 6am local time on Tuesday in some areas, the Japan Meteorological Agency said.
The storm was forecast to make landfall on the southern tip of the Kii Peninsula, some 600km west of Tokyo, before making a beeline inland for Osaka, western Japan's main city. The approaching typhoon has also prompted the cancellation of public transport services on Tuesday, causing headaches for holidaymakers during the traditional"obon" travel week.
Japan Airlines said it cancelled 19 flights for Monday and 240 flights on Tuesday. Its rival All Nippon Airways also planned to announce cancellations later.
