With Typhoon Ampil approaching Tokyo and neighboring areas, the Japan Coast Guard issued an advisory on Wednesday for large ships to vacate or otherwise avoid entering Tokyo Bay based on the Maritime Traffic Safety Law.

This is the first time the advisory has been issued for Tokyo Bay since the amendment of the law in 2021.
