(KPL/KYODO) Typhoon Nari crossed the Hokkaido coast on Tuesday, the first landfall by a typhoon on the northern main island of Japan since 2016, before weakening to a storm, the weather agency said.

The typhoon made landfall near Cape Erimo at the southern tip of Hokkaido around 2 a.m., according to the Japan Meteorological Agency.

The agency continued to warn of strong winds in Hokkaido, with maximum speeds of up to 87.48 kilometers per hour recorded in the city of Kushiro.

The typhoon, which formed over the weekend around 200 kilometers south of Chichijima Island in the Pacific, moved along the eastern side of the Japanese archipelago before approaching Hokkaido.

It was the first landfall in Hokkaido by a typhoon in July since Japan began compiling statistics in 1951.
