Typhoon Marie, as known as the TÃ Âya Maru Typhoon () in Japan, was a typhoon that hit Japan in September 1954. Marie did a great deal of damage to Hokkaido, and the TÃ Âya Maru () train ferry sank due to the high waves and windstorm caused by Marie. Because of it, JMA in Japan named the storm TÃ Âya Maru Typhoon.
On September 26, Typhoon Marie hit Japan. After passing Kyushu and Chugoku, Marie proceeded through the Sea of Japan northeast at a tremendous speed and hit Hokkaido.
Due to Marie, some Seikan ferries such as TÃ Âya Maru that departed from Hakodate Port, suffered a gale and high waves. TÃ Âya Maru sank, causing 1,139 people on it to die, and resulting in enormous damage.
Also, a large fire broke out in Iwanai, Hokkaido, partly due to the effects of Marie. This fire was called Fire of Iwanai () in Japan.
JMA named Marie, which caused major damage mainly in Hokkaido, as TÃ Âya Maru Typhoon, honouring the dead of the TÃ Âya Maru.
