The Pacific Northwest, especially Northeast Asia, is a typhoon-prone area. Typhoon track changes in these regions will have a profound impact for social and economic development. Typhoons generally go across the land and sea. Therefore, it is possible to see the whole picture of the historical typhoon combined with the typhoon information of the Northeast Asia. In China and Japan, the first typhoon track information based on the instrumental observations are 1879 AD and 1878 AD; estimating historical typhoon events in Northeast Asia only rely on historical documents. In this paper, taking the 4 typhoon events (typhoons that affected Japan on 11-12 September 1650 AD; 15-17 September 1674 AD and typhoons that affected China on 7-8 and 13-16 August 1823 AD), which have typical features (evaluation of the typhoon-affected area, using the recorded detailed time, discrimination of the two typhoons, etc.) as examples, we discuss typhoon track estimation method in Northeast Asia since the 17th century. By discussing typhoon cases, the paper points out feasibility of combining the hazard records and meteorological records and effectiveness of instrumental typhoon records used to verify the historical documents. In the study of Paleotem pestology, quite a part of diary has not been utilized yet. The diary of the governing body or a distinguished family has a longer writing time and a homogeneous content writing, we can improve spatial and temporal resolution of cross-border study of Paleotem pestology.
