We are aware of the potential damage and dangers from this typhoon. Please note, I will change the itinerary as needed and with the assistance of my Japanese agent ensure safe travels. We have been in contact several times over the last 24 hours.
At this moment the forecast for this area is moderate rain and short wind gusts.
Host families are cautious and will adjust their planned activities.
The safety of the team is paramount to a successful trip therefore the route to be taken for tomorrow ‘s departure will be assessed by the bus company, our agent and myself.
