Typhoon No.15, Kamakura, Sep 5, 2025

On September 5, 2025, Typhoon No. 15 “Peipah” struck the Kanto region, bringing record-breaking rain and strong winds to Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture. The Japan Meteorological Agency issued heavy rain and flood warnings, urging strict vigilance against landslides and flooding in low-lying areas.
A linear rainband formed over the city for the first time this year, leaving large parts of Wakamiya Oji, the main avenue leading from Kamakura Station to Tsurugaoka Hachimangu Shrine, submerged. Roads turned into rivers, with police directing traffic and many areas closed off. Transportation came to a standstill, visitors were few, and many shops and facilities were forced to shut down. Stripped of its usual bustle, Kamakura was left in eerie silence, the storm’s scars lingering across its streets.


台風15号 鎌倉 2025/9/5

2025年9月5日、台風15号「ペイパー」が関東地方を直撃し、神奈川県鎌倉市は記録的な大雨と強風に見舞われ、気象庁からは大雨・洪水警報が発令され、土砂災害や低地の浸水への厳重な警戒が呼びかけられた。
市内では今年初めて線状降水帯が発生し、鎌倉駅前や鶴岡八幡宮へと続く若宮大路が広範囲に冠水。道路は川のように変わり、警察が交通誘導を行い、多くの場所で通行止めとなった。 交通機関も麻痺し、観光客の姿はまばら。多くの店舗や施設が休業を余儀なくされ、普段の賑わいを失った鎌倉は、静まり返った街並みに荒天の爪痕を残した。
