Description: War Thunder is a next generation military MMO game dedicated to...
Hi all! It's winter outside, it's cold. We already had frosts of minus 40 and this is in November! And what about in Japan? What's the temperature there? Is there snow in Japan? If you look at the weather in the capital of Japan, then in November average temperature in 2018 it was plus 18º and above during the day, in December (now) 15-20º warm. The news was that it was anomalous warm weather for winter and people walk around in summer clothes, languishing from the heat. But this weather is not everywhere. The islands of Japan are stretched from North to South, and when the temperature on the northernmost island of Hokkaido is minus 20º, south island Okinawa plus 20°.
The snowiest and coldest island in Japan is Hokkaido. This is where snow is a common occurrence in the Japanese winter. As a rule, the first snow falls at the end of October (very similar to ours). Siberian winter). But this year, 2018, in Sapporo, the first snow was 23 days late and fell only on November 20. This has not happened since 1890.
Hokkaido Island becomes very snowy with the onset of winter, over 300 mm of precipitation falls here during the winter. To understand what this figure means, I looked on the Internet and read: one millimeter of snowfall equates to 1-1.5 cm of snow cover height, depending on the structure of the snow. That is, 300 mm of snow is 3-4.5 meters.
So much snow falls at once that even a slight warming cannot melt it and the island sinks into snowdrifts several meters high during the winter, this can be called "Japan under the snow", but only one small part of it. Special equipment removes the fallen snow, as a rule, at night, so that in the morning you can easily get to work. Snow is not removed from the streets, but is thrown onto the roadside, for this reason it is forbidden to leave cars on the roadside. Snow removal near the house, including the sidewalk, is the responsibility of the residents themselves. Part of the roadway in Sapporo is heated, freeing the road from snow, I wrote about this. In some areas of Japan, thermal springs are also used to heat roads in winter. In the middle of the road, under the asphalt, a special, as it were, dividing strip has been laid, into which sprinklers are built in (so as not to interfere with traffic) or pipes with hot water are simply laid. AT winter time year, hot water melts the snow and therefore the road is always clean, without additional cleaning with special equipment.
It was always interesting to find out how such huge snowdrifts-tunnels are obtained, it looks very beautiful and unusual, and then I accidentally saw a video of how equipment in Japan works when clearing snow. Such an array of snow is striking. Now it is clear why the roads seemed to be drowned in a multi-meter white blanket.
This is how unusual snow removal is in Japan.
But many meters of snow is becoming a problem for residents of the private sector. After all, it only seems fluffy, in fact, this is a huge load on not so strong roofs, and even if such a block falls on a passerby, it will not seem enough.
And hard-working Japanese regularly clean the roofs of houses.

Winter, December 2018 Hakodate. The city is located in the southwest of Hokkaido.
Aomori Prefecture. Mountains of Hakkodo.
Aomori Prefecture is located in the north of the central island of Honshu. The temperature in winter rarely drops below -5º, but there is a lot of snow. The photo above shows trees. Ice and snow turns coniferous trees that grow on the mountain range of Hakkoda into snow monsters. The picture is fantastic. Mountains in winter, due to the large amount of snow, are fraught with danger. Tragic incidents often happened here.
In the capital of Japan - Tokyo, snow usually falls once a year - at the end of January or in the first half of February. And it lies no more than a day, but during this time those who wish manage to make two-ball snowmen, and the snow manages to bring down the usual rhythm of the townspeople. During this period, traffic disruptions begin, trains do not always arrive on schedule, and aircraft flights are canceled.
I read somewhere that the Japanese, when making a snowman, use 2 balls instead of our usual three, because there is little snow in Japan. This, of course, is not the point. In Japan, a snowman is called 雪だるま/Yukidaruma, and the Daruma is made up of two parts, a head and a body. About it interesting character Japanese mythology is written in the publication.
The snow that falls in Tokyo is fluffy and beautiful. Looks fabulous.
Such beautiful moments are captured by professional photographers. So, for example, in warm Kyoto it is possible, covered with snow.
Or famous in Kanazawa City, Ishikawa Prefecture.
Fairytale Japan. Natadera Shrine, Ishikawa Prefecture.
Japan is poor natural resources, however, gives a huge amount of delicious natural species. The Japanese are very attentive to details, and their pedantry can only be compared with the German one.
Weather in Japan now:
If we divide the year into 4 traditional periods, then the Japanese have long distinguished 24 seasons. Each of them has a name and characteristic signs, as well as an individual color scheme. characteristic feature Japan is its extent. This causes some climatic differences in the country.
Climate of Japan by months:
Spring
Spring begins in March. The days become much warmer, and the trees begin to actively bloom. Plums are the first to begin to bloom, which delight the magnificent colors, and then peach trees draw attention to themselves. The most interesting begins in late March or early April. The Japanese are closely following the news these days, waiting for the announcement of the beginning of cherry blossoms. Then there is a holiday, which consists in admiring the flowers. Delicate cherry blossoms are short-lived. Having pleased the eye for about two weeks, they give way to other spring flowers. Cherry blossoms are the backbone of springtime. The tree does not bloom at the same time, but evenly across the country. The Cherry Blossom Festival is one of the most fun celebrations in Japan.
Summer
Spring is followed by summer, which lasts from May to early September. The beginning of summer is short and busy sunny days. Then the rainy season begins, during which it rains almost daily. Summers are hot almost throughout the country. high humidity. The exception is perhaps the island of Hokkaido, where the summer is somewhat milder. The middle of the summer season is very bright, forcing people to go to nature. Therefore, mid-August usually becomes the time for camping trips, visiting the mountains or relaxing on the sea coast. The end of summer is not the safest period, as typhoons occur at this time. However, you should not be especially afraid of them, since they usually do not reach the city limits, only bringing windy days with rain. In summer, the country hosts a huge number of different festivals that attract tourists from all over the world.
Autumn
Autumn starts in September and ends at the end of November. It sometimes rains, but in general the weather becomes drier. It is during this period that the trees begin to change their color. Walking through the city you can appreciate all the charm Japanese nature. In addition, the harvest begins in autumn, accompanied by numerous festivals in honor of the harvest. One of the largest is the Rice Festival, which is celebrated nationwide. Autumn is an incredibly beautiful season in Japan as most of the mountains are covered deciduous trees that change from green to fiery fall colors. The festival of admiring the moon is very popular, on the day of which the moon turns into a huge golden ball that adorns the night sky.
Winter
Winter lasts from late November to February. At this time, cold winds blowing from Siberia are felt throughout the country. Moderate temperatures are observed only in the south, and in other regions it is much colder. In the north, huge snowdrifts are common. However, this does not stop travelers from wanting to see the huge snow sculptures erected in Sapporo.
Of course, it happens, this is Japan and not Ethiopia. The country stretches long from north to south. It is cold in the north, hot in the south. However, negative air temperatures are not yet snow. What you see is called "Shirakawa-go and Gokayama". Historic villages, monument world heritage UNESCO. The name "Shirakawa-go" can be translated as "Old White River District" - the village is actually located on the Shirakawa River, in Gifu Prefecture. These villages have become famous not because of the abundance of snowfall, but because of the houses with roofs of a very interesting and unusual design. This architectural solution is called "Gashō-zukuri", which can be translated as "Folded palms". The roofs of the houses are like the palms of someone who is about to pray. The roof structure is movable and the roof tilts slightly depending on the direction of the wind. The roof is straw.
In winter, a small fire is built inside the house in a specially designated place, which performs a double, or even triple function. The first two, of course, are home heating and cooking. And the third is to smoke out insects from the thatched roof and impregnate it with resins, which makes the roof durable and waterproof. The roof of a dwelling heated by a fire actively evaporates moisture, which looks very funny from the outside.
On the east side, the Japanese islands are washed by warm currents, so it is warmer there and there is very little snow. The further south and east, the stronger people they rejoice in the snow in winter, because they have it very rarely. Japan receives snow mainly from the western side. This is due to the fact that in winter they blow strong winds from Siberia. picking up wet air Sea of Japan winds meet strong resistance on the first mountain ranges of the Japanese islands, giving out massive portions of snow on everything below. Some areas receive up to six meters of snow in precipitation. This is clearly seen on the example of the road between the cities of Tateyama and Kurobe. The photo was taken in May, as there is no road in winter.
Every “snow prefecture” uses snow, actively working with winter sports enthusiasts: Numerous ski and snowboard slopes, hotels, onsen. Somewhere in Yamagata Prefecture, you can see this.
It is called "Zao Juhyo", which translates to "Trees of Mount Zao covered with ice". They are covered, of course, with snow, a kind of growth of wet snow, you won’t immediately guess that there is a tree inside. Sometimes these figures are called "snow monsters" for their very strange appearance. The best time to visit these places is February. To the "snow monsters" there are cable cars, which are delivered to both skiers and just hikers.
At the end of the photo of the spectacle, which is called "Jigokudani Yaen Kouen."
This is a monkey park in the city of Yamanouchi in Nagano Prefecture, with the main characters - "Snow Monkeys".
In summer, monkeys roam the vast territory of the reserve, gathering. In winter, people come to bask in the hot springs.
By the way, in ancient times, this is how the Japanese found "onsen" - just by watching the macaques.
Monkey Park is part of national reserve Shiga-Kogen.
A snowflake fell on my palm
"Snow is also snow in Africa" - if someone thinks so, they will be wrong. Different ethnic groups have different perceptions of snow, I read at school that, for example, the Eskimos have a dozen and a half names for snow. The Japanese are not Eskimos, snow does not play such a big role in their life, of course. And not every winter it falls as much as it fell in the Tokyo area this year. Although during the Edo period in the Kanto region, and this is the most highly developed and urbanized part of Japan, the capital of the country is located here, much more snow fell here than now, and especially during the Tempo years (1830-1844), and the climate here was cold. The Japanese have an ambivalent attitude towards snow, for them it is associated with cold, while the sensations are more negative than joyful. It is we who can wear a sheepskin coat and felt boots in winter, but the Japanese do not wear warm coats, the maximum that they can afford in winter is all kinds of sweaters, warm T-shirts, blouses, etc. under a jacket, that is, the clothes are multi-layered. Now in Japan in many regions there is no snow at all, but when it sometimes falls, it is very cold, high humidity affects, the snow is wet and sticky, so it is very chilly. Only on the island of Hokkaido, winter is similar to ours, here there are many meters of snowdrifts. But on the other hand, the Japanese feel the change of seasons very subtly and winter has its charms, and the snowflakes themselves are amazingly beautiful and delicate, graceful and fragile, the Japanese, simply by virtue of their nature, could not pass them by.
To admire the falling snow, the Japanese came up with a whole ritual, I had a post somewhere on this topic called "Yukimi-sake or winter orgasm", who are interested, you can search in the diary. So here it is yukimi sake(Yukimi-zake) is a tradition of drinking a cup of sake while watching the snowfall, this is the main pleasure of the winter season, just like admiring cherry blossoms spring or red momiji leaves in autumn. In the evenings when snowing and large fluffy flakes gently fall outside the window, you can open a bottle of sake, fill a cup and lap rice wine alone, admiring the falling snowflakes and thinking about the frailty of life. All in the tradition of Zen Buddhism.
The Japanese most often depict a snowflake as a six-ray structure. It is we or Europeans who can draw a snowflake with 4, 5, 7, 8, 9 and so on rays, in Japan they have always been depicted in accordance with natural laws, that is, with 3, 6 and 12 rays. I drew snowflakes first Doi Toshitsura, who acquired a microscope from the Dutch and began to study them, and in 1833 published the first natural science study in Japan on snow Sekka zusetsu(Atlas of snowflakes). Since then, Doi Toshitsura has been nicknamed the Prince of Snow in history. In 1840 they released Shoku Sekka zusetsu- continuation of the Atlas of snowflakes. In the first part, 98 snowflakes are drawn, and in the second - 97 snowflakes. The atlas did not go on sale; it was printed at home in small quantities. But soon Suzuki Bokushi redrawn snowflakes by Doi Toshitsura and placed them in his book Hokuetsu's Tales of Snow. It was thanks to this book that Doi's sketches spread widely among all Japanese. Since then, the snowflake motif has been widely used in Japanese life, for example, tea ceremony utensils or kimono patterns often had snowflake patterns. Snowflake motifs immediately spread among the Japanese, engravings often depicted beauties in kimonos completely covered with images of snowflakes, or they adorned obi belts.
Based on the Doi atlas, numerous Kamon family coats of arms were created. Therefore, each snowflake got its own name, for example, there is Yukiwa - a snow contour, Yamabuki-yuki - a snowflake in the shape of a flower, Harukaze-yuki - spring snow, Komori-yuki - a snowflake in the form bats, Kokumochi-yuki - a black snowflake on a white background, Sanya-yuki - the snow of a mountain valley, Hanagata-yuki - a flower-shaped snowflake, Yama-yuki - a snowflake with teeth, Ya-yuki - a snowflake from arrows, Tsurara-yuki - an ice crystal and so on. The Japanese have even an order of magnitude more names for snowflakes than the Eskimos!
It is we who can admire the endless fields and endless forests, while the Japanese can admire a single blade of grass or several snowflakes for hours. Or study the subject in depth. So in the middle of the 20th century, a professor of physics low temperatures hokkaido university mister Kobayashi Teisaku studied the text of the Doi atlas and carried out comparative analysis drawings of snowflakes from the Edo period and photographs of natural snowflakes obtained by scientists modern means, and then published all these materials as a separate monograph in 1960. Kobayashi explored not only natural science aspects, but also how the Japanese perceive snow and snowflakes, how snow is described in literature, and how it is used as an ornamental motif. If we draw an analogy, it is like in a joke about philosophy. The Russians have a thin pamphlet called "All About World Philosophy", the Americans have a comic book "World Philosophy", and the Germans have a thick three-volume book called "Introduction to the Foundations of Philosophy". The Japanese approach is closer to the German one, and during the Second World War they were allies and gave the Americans a light ... however, I digress.
The most common snow ornament motif was yukimochi(under the snow). Usually trees were depicted like this - willow, bamboo and so on. In this case, the main motive was the image of a tree, and the snow became additional and its coldness softened. There is a Japanese proverb - "Willow does not break under the snow", it glorifies the strength, stamina and adaptability of a person to external conditions. Therefore, the motif of a willow under the snow was often found in men's clothing. Snow flakes in Japan get a poetic name nerd yuki(peony snow). The season of patterns with snowflakes is winter and summer. When the sweltering heat sets in, any reminder of coolness is life-saving. During this period, pleasant sensations are given by images of snow, a cool water stream, and a fresh wind. In addition, the snowflake is perfect for the summer season with its grace, sophistication and lightness. Yes, and colors of cold shades and transparency in everything are preferable.
Japan- a country of contrasts, notable for its outstanding culture. Although each country is unique in its own way, Japan still stands out for being a stunning fusion of East and West that cannot be found anywhere else. This is a country of robots and skyscrapers, anime, sumo and samurai, for a person from the outside is not just mysterious, but sometimes incomprehensible.
Still, the Land of the Rising Sun has one drawback - it is expensive to relax here. This is not surprising, given the high standard of living of the Japanese. And still, the numerous advantages of the country and its uniqueness attract many guests. Although people often go to Japan not to lie on the beach by the ocean, but to familiarize themselves with Japanese culture, the climate is still very important - the story will go about it.
Climate zones of Japan
Nature here is also full of contrasts: despite the small area, the archipelago is stretched from north to south, as a result, the climate on each island is different, which provides many opportunities for recreation both in summer and in winter. In Japan, there are four climatic zones, and if you go from north to south, then the first will be moderately cold, in which the entire island of Hokkaido is located, considered by the Japanese to be almost the pole. In fact, here, of course, it is far from being so cold, but the winters are snowy - Hokkaido is famous for its snowstorms, and the summer, although hot, is much shorter than on other islands. People come here to ski resorts.
Warmer on the island of Honshu, the largest in Japan, which is home to 80% of its population. It belongs to the warm temperate zone, and it is this that is usually imagined when Japan is mentioned. In winter, there is snow here, but not always and not for long, and already in early March, sakura begins to bloom. With her comes a warm spring - best time to visit these places.
And in the summer in the south of Honshu, it's time for Hotarugari - admiring fireflies. The night darkness of Japanese forests and fields is filled with the magical light of myriads of fireflies, beckoning many photographers eager to capture this spectacle.
The third zone is already subtropics, they include the south of Honshu, Kyushu and the north of the Ryukyu archipelago. There is practically no winter here, and summers are hot and too humid. It is best to go here in the fall - it's time for swimming on local beaches.
Finally, there are some real tropics in Japan - this is the south of the Ryukyu, primarily Okinawa. The breeze saves from the heat, so it's nice to relax here in the summer, and indeed all year round.
Tourist seasons and places to visit
In Japan, there is no concept of "low season", people come here to rest at any time of the year, but the rest will be different, because the seasons in Japan are very different from each other, and they come abruptly.
And yet, summer is less suitable for tourism than other seasons - in Honshu at this time the rainy season, and it can be both stuffy and rainy. The sky is constantly cloudy, the humidity level is high, which is why it is damp everywhere and mold appears - and therefore you may not like Honshu in the summer, even the inhabitants of the island themselves most often go on vacation to other places at this time of the year. But you should not completely abandon the idea of \u200b\u200bgoing to Japan in the summer - it is at this time of the year that the most big number festivals and holidays, so it will be interesting! This is a good time to travel around the Japanese outback and go on vacation in the mountains.
The Japanese themselves distinguish as many as six seasons: in addition to the usual four, this is also the tsuyu season, which translates as “plum rains”, lasting about a month and a half, and the season of autumn transparency or Japanese clarity - late fall up to winter. In Japan, late autumn is strikingly different from ours, and it has such poetic names for a reason - for many Japanese, its days are completely loved. It is at this time that the country is filled with red momiji leaves, which create beautiful views and can compete with sakura in this.
Winter is usually dry and snowless. Sometimes it rains, but usually the sky is clear. It is not cold at all here, and you can freely walk the streets in a sweater. Of course, in winter, the landscapes in the area are not so good, because the trees lose their leaves and the emerald grass does not cover the area - and yet, it is very pleasant to be on the main island of Japan in winter.
But better times of the year, spring and autumn should be recognized for a trip to Tokyo and Honshu, because in spring this country is painted in green and pink, and in autumn in yellow and red - both look very beautiful. From Tokyo, you can go to the vicinity of Fujiyama - there are many hot springs and the spirit of a real Japanese outback.
It is wrong to imagine Japan as a country consisting entirely of megacities - more than 70% of its territory is occupied by sparsely populated mountains and volcanoes. There are 108 active volcanoes in the country, and the main one is one of the symbols of Japan, Fujiyama. This volcano annually attracts many tourists both from Japan itself and from abroad, because there really is something to admire. Kyoto is another center of tourism, there are always a lot of guests here, and for the most part they are the Japanese themselves. Still, Kyoto is an ancient capital, now famous mainly for its beautiful temples - there are hundreds of them in the city.
There are still many beautiful cities and castles in Japan that are worth visiting: Osaka and Nara, Nagoya and Hiroshima, Kobe and Saitama, Himmeji Castle and Kumamoto Castle, and there are so many Shinto temples here! All the sights of this country cannot be listed, they are literally at every step.
The Japanese themselves summer rest go to the beaches of Okinawa - paradise lost in the ocean. Okinawa is called the "treasure islands" - summer is here all year round, but not suffocatingly hot, but pleasant. Truly a heavenly place! At the same time, although people come here mainly to the sea, you can also find many attractions here: medieval castles and villages, royal gardens and sacred places - the real spirit of the Japanese Middle Ages, and all this in a tropical atmosphere!
Winter holidays
From the edge eternal summer– straight to the winter holidays! Once again, Japanese contrasts are emphasized by the fact that in such a small country so many different natural areas: people go to Hokkaido most often just to enjoy winter vacation and downhill skiing. There is all the infrastructure for this, because the Japanese themselves usually rest on this island, and the majestic winter landscapes of the island will not leave anyone indifferent.
Weather in Japan by months
You can go to the Land of the Rising Sun in any month, but depending on the season and the chosen region, the rest will vary greatly. What to expect from this beautiful country in each of the months?
December - January
In winter, there are usually not very many tourists, although it is quite pleasant to visit - the weather is dry and warm. There are also disadvantages: nature in the central region is rather lifeless, and the sun sets very early - at about 4-5 pm. January is the best time to visit ski resorts Hokkaido, or vice versa - tropical Okinawa, where summer is all year round.
February
On February 3, Japan celebrates Sutsebun, the beginning of spring. And this is fully justified, because already at the beginning of the month a real spring comes to the islands - it becomes warm, the first grass breaks through, nature wakes up. And yet, in February, Japan is not so often visited by tourists - it is too difficult for him to compete with the following months!
March-May
The busiest time starts when cherry blossoms and there comes a period Hanami - that is, admiring flowers. It is difficult to convey in words the beauty of Japanese nature at this time, and millions come to admire it. The weather throughout Honshu is warm by mid-March, and there is no need to wait for any frosty days, while sakura continues to bloom in April, which is even more beautiful than March. In May, cherry blossoms are replaced by a riot of colors and vegetation - summer comes into its own.
From April 29 to May 5, Golden Week lasts - a series of holidays that follow each other. This is a beautiful time, which can be a good reason to come to Japan for those who have friends in it - after all, they will have a whole week off, and all this time they spend interesting events. But it is at this time that a lot of tourists want to get into the country, and hotel prices just skyrocket, and you should take care of booking in advance.
June July
Already in the second half of May, the rainy season gradually begins, it moves north every day, and by the beginning of June captures almost the entire territory of the islands. The weather becomes overcast, stuffy and damp. In June it is good to go to Hokkaido, where it is still May. But at this time, lotuses, irises and many other flowers bloom, making the gardens beautiful.
July is the hottest month of the year, making more more of the Japanese to go to Hokkaido, because the city streets of Honshu metropolitan areas are not very comfortable at this time. But the best time is coming to climb Mount Fuji - it should be a test of the spirit. To meet the dawn at the top of Mount Fuji is one of the Japanese traditions.
If you are already in Japan in the summer, you should not miss Tanabata - the “star festival” taking place on July 7th. Although it does not have the status of an official holiday, it is celebrated on a grand scale - there are fireworks, parades, and decorated city streets. Many festivals take place on this holiday, and the tradition of hanging tanzaku, multi-colored pieces of paper on which wishes are written, has been preserved on bamboo branches.
Aug. Sept
The period of heat and humidity continues, typhoons begin to rage, but the weather is usually clear, and yet not as hot as before. These months have a particularly large number of holidays, and fireworks are constantly fired here and there.
October
This autumn month considered one of the best places to travel to Japan if you are targeting Honshu first. The weather is still warm, but no longer hot, and nature is a marvelous autumn picture - the season of autumn transparency is coming, the time to admire momiji. And at the same time, time to see Japanese sights in such a beautiful environment!
November
The beautiful autumn season continues into November - it is still warm here, and the weather does not go into hibernation. But tourists do not favor this month, and there are usually few of them - which can serve as another advantage for some, because it is much more pleasant to see historical places when other tourists are not honking in them!
