Typhoon No.12

The 2 biggest industries of Furano are agriculture and tourism.
 Both of them are seriously affected by the weather.
The farmers were tremendously busy harvesting onions before the arrival of the typhoon.
JR lines and the roads have been partly blocked by landslides caused by the heavy rain.
We sometimes have no option but to pray for good weather.

But one of the visitors bought an umbrella this morning.
And he believes that stops the rain :D
