Typhoon Hagibis battered Yokohama Bay on Saturday evening with powerful winds.

The footage filmed from Yokohama International Grand Hotel shows a floating pontoon swaying in the bay as howling winds swirl.

According to filmer Craig Shepheard, the entire hotel even began to sway.

"Rugby fans were watching the latest rugby game in a bar on the 31st floor of the hotel. The hotel building started swaying in the high winds and the rugby fans felt travel sick and came down to the ground floor bar instead," he said.
