One local told me it's the snowiest place in Japan. Get outta here! Is that true? I would've thought somewhere like Hokkaido or further north.[/url]?
Well, as with so many things in Japan...it may be true...it may be not...depending on who is providing the stats...
Only research I could quickly find was this...Japan's Niseko resort area, which averages an astonishing 595 inches per season, is No. 2 in the world.
