Weather in Japan - statistics & facts
Japan hosts wildly contrasting climate regions, varying from a humid continental climate in the north to a subtropical climate in the south. Weather conditions differ between the Pacific side and the Sea of Japan side. While northern Japan has warm summers and cold winters with snowfall occurring in mountainous areas on the Sea of Japan side, the southern areas tend to have very hot and humid summers and moderately cold to mild winters. Additionally, Japan's weather conditions are influenced by natural disasters such as typhoons which often cause heavy rainfall.
