Typhoon Marie, as known as the Tōya Maru Typhoon (洞爺丸台風) in Japan,[1] was a typhoon that hit Japan in September 1954. Marie did a great deal of damage to Hokkaido, and the Tōya Maru (洞爺丸) train ferry sank due to the high waves and windstorm caused by Marie.[2] Because of it, JMA in Japan named the storm Tōya Maru Typhoon.
