Japan has typhoons due to the warm ocean current known as the Kuroshio. It runs right beside Japan on the eastern side on the main islands. That is why Japan is very warm even though it is up north.
There is also a warm ocean current on the western side of Japan called the Tsushima current which delivers warm heat into south and some parts of North Korea.
