Snowy winter but can enjoy it

 Most of Japan has a temperate climate with four distinct seasons,but  the weather in the winter there is a difference between the area along the Sea of Japan and that on the Pacific Ocean side which is caused by mountain ranges located between the two regions.  In winter, the mountains block the cold, wet wind blowing from the northwest, which causes heavy snow to fall on the Japan Sea side.  On the contrary Pacific side is dry and sunny in the winter.

Tourists can enjoy a beautiful snow covered landscape and hot springs in the snow.
