Snow country (Japan)

Snow country (雪国 yukiguni; also, more prosaically, 豪雪地帯 gōsetsu chitai [”heavy snow area”]) refers to areas in Japan characterized by heavy, long-lasting snowfalls.
The rather poetic snow country (雪国, yukiguni) can refer to any place with heavy or deep snows and is generally understood as a reference to the Sea of Japan side of Honshū (Japan's main island) and the area encompassed by the Japanese Alps, a series of mountain ranges that make up the island's backbone. In its broadest meaning, snow country means the belt along the Sea of Japan from Yamaguchi (in particular, Shimane) in the south to Honshū's northern tip, as well as Sado Island and Hokkaidō. More narrowly defined, it is used to indicate the area from Fukui to Akita Prefecture, but it is most closely associated with part of Fukui and all of Toyama and Niigata Prefectures.　.. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..
