Hello everyone.
I'm Kitsuneya, who runs a blog.
This time it's a pretty short article.
Today I would like to introduce "Japanese snow".
It snowed recently in Tokyo, but at that time the town was confused. I will also explain the reason. In addition, we will also deliver trivia about snow in Japan, so please read it.
Tokyo is vulnerable to snow!
Tokyo is a city that is very vulnerable to snow. I mean. It snows every year in Tokyo, but it is rare for snow to pile up on the streets. So, when it snows, the train will stop. It will not be possible to operate due to safety confirmation or other reasons.
Also, buses and other vehicles are not accustomed to driving on snowy roads, making it difficult to operate on time.
The snow on the road surface is also thinly piled up, and many people freeze on the road surface after it has finished falling.
Due to the snow that fell on January 6, 2021, 530 people were urgently transported in two days from the 6th to the 7th. I'm not used to walking on snowy or frozen roads, so this kind of accident happens.
Since I am not accustomed to the situation with snow, many houses and businesses do not have snow removal tools on hand, so snow removal is considerably delayed. Also, in the shade, thin and stiff snow often remains.
The amount of rain is completely different depending on the area!
In Tokyo, it snows once every few years, but even in the same Kanto area, it piles up every year near the mountains of Tochigi and Gunma. In addition, Hokkaido, Iwate, Akita, Niigata, Nagano, etc. have many areas with a considerable amount of snow, and the quality of the snow seems to be good, and it seems that many ski and snowboard players are visiting from all over the world.
There are many areas where the amount of snow exceeds 1m.
Was Japan the country with the largest amount of snow in the world?
In fact, Japan has the world record for annual snowfall because it is a city where more than 100,000 people live. Japan holds the 1st to 3rd place in the world record. This is based on a survey conducted by the American media company AccuWeather.
1st place Aomori City 7.92m per year
2nd place Sapporo City 4.85m per year
3rd place Toyama City 3.63m per year
In Aomori City, it is about 8m, which is a considerable amount of rain. Considering the building, it's about 3 floors high. By the way, the average annual snowfall in New York is 0.68m. Aomori City, which is number one, has about 10 cups. very.
That's all for this article.
There are many ski resorts in Japan, so if you like skiing and snowboarding, please come to Japan. In some areas, "snow" is the main publication because it snows so much. It might be interesting to visit such an area. In areas where it snows, there are many areas where seafood is delicious, so it may be better to gourmet.
Please come to Japan when you can travel freely!
see you next time.
