The Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism and the Japan Meteorological Agency have issued an emergency announcement regarding heavy snow.
Around January 10th, cold air will flow into the vicinity of Japan, resulting in a strong winter pressure pattern, and continuous snowfall is expected, mainly on the Sea of Japan side of Honshu, which may result in heavy snowfall even in flat areas.
From the 8th to the 9th, snow clouds will develop over the Sea of Japan, and on the 9th, there is a risk that snowfall will intensify, especially in the southern Sea of Japan side of the Tohoku region, the Hokuriku region, and the Tokai region.
In case it is unavoidable to drive a vehicle, drivers are urged to thoroughly install winter tires and carry chains for early installation, as well as carry winter equipment such as shovels and sand. It is also mentioned that due to snow conditions, it is possible for national roads running parallel to highways to be closed at the same time over a wide area, and cooperation in implementing wide area detours and reviewing travel routes is sought.
