In September 26, Typhoon Marie hit Japan.
After passing Kyushu and Chugoku, Marie proceeded Sea of Japan northeast at a tremendous speed and hit Hokkaido.

Due to Marie, some Seikan ferries such as Tōya Maru that departed from Hakodate Port, suffered a gale and high waves.
Tōya Maru sank, causing 1,139 people on it to die, resulting in enormous damage.

Also, a large fire broke out in Iwanai, Hokkaido, partly due to the effect of Marie.
This fire called Fire of Iwanai (岩内大火) in Japan.
