The Snowiest Country on Earth

When you think of the snowiest place on Earth, you probably imagine Canada, Greenland, or even the Nordic countries. But here’s the twist—the real winner is Japan.

In parts of Niigata and Yamagata prefectures, snowfall reaches an incredible 5 to 8 meters every winter. And the city of Aomori? It’s considered the snowiest city in the world, buried under an average of 7 meters of snow every year.

Japan even holds a national record—Mount Ibuki once measured 12 meters of snow. That’s as tall as a 5-story building made entirely of ice.

But here’s the strange part—these snowy regions sit on the same latitude as places that barely see any snow at all. So why does Japan get so much? It all comes down to geography. Cold air from Siberia collides with the warmer waters of the Sea of Japan, and when that moisture slams into Japan’s mountains, it drops unbelievable amounts of snow.

It’s one of the world’s most extreme winter weather hotspots… and it happens in Japan.
