Sanba made landfall in northeastern Okinawa early Sunday morning with an eye that was as big as half the island's length.
Residents of Okinawa had made precautions before the storm and the infrastructure of the island was designed to withstand powerful storms and typhoons as the island is in an area where typhoons are frequent.
CNN International weather anchor Jenny Harrison said, "It's a large storm, and it's going to have a fairly wide-reaching effect."
Only last month Typhoon Bolaven hit the Korean peninsula, killing more than 60 people.
