Snow adds a magical touch to winter, but some places experience more snow than others. Among all countries, Japan is often considered the snowiest country in the world. Its unique geography and weather patterns result in incredible amounts of snowfall every year. Let’s learn more about why Japan holds this title.
Japan is known for its breathtaking winter scenery and receives nearly 600 inches of snow every winter season. This incredible amount makes Japan the snowiest country in the world.
Niseko, located on Japan’s northern island of Hokkaido, is a dream destination for snow lovers. It is globally famous for its fresh, powdery snow, making it a paradise for skiing and snowboarding enthusiasts.
The heavy snowfall in Japan is due to cold winds from Siberia that gather moisture from the Sea of Japan. When these winds reach Japan, they release the moisture as snow, covering much of the country in a thick, white blanket.
Canada: St. John’s, a city in Canada, is among the snowiest places on Earth. It experiences an average snow depth of over three meters every year.
United States: The United States has witnessed record snowfall in the 21st century, with some areas receiving up to 1,500 inches. States like Maine, New Hampshire, Alaska, Vermont, and Wyoming are known for their heavy snow.
