Pretty much any typhoon that hits Japan is going to go close to that area. Typhoons tend to travel a pretty set path up the coast of Japan. Most of the time they weaken along the way or swerve out into the ocean.
Of course damage is going to depend on the size and strength - but it would have to be one serious typhoon to cause serious damage. This one was not. It was an early typhoon too, so was expected to weaken pretty quickly once it got up here... Which it did.
Most of the country got nothing but the equivalent of a rain storm.
