Japan officially entered winter after the first snow fell in Wakkanai, Hokkaido on Monday (October 20), and the Kofu Local Meteorological Observatory in Yamanashi Prefecture announced three days later that Mount Fuji had finally welcomed this year’s “first snow”. Although it was 21 days later than the average, it was 15 days earlier than the latest first snow in history last year.
According to Japanese media reports, snow has been falling on the top of Mount Fuji since Wednesday (22nd), but whether it is the “first snow” must be officially announced after visual confirmation by the Kofu Local Meteorological Observatory in Yamanashi Prefecture, more than 30 kilometers away.
This morning (23rd), the weather was clear and the temperature at the top of Mount Fuji was -6.4 degrees Celsius, a new low temperature since the beginning of autumn. The Kofu Local Meteorological Observatory visually confirmed that there was a thin layer of snow on the top of Mount Fuji, officially announcing that Mount Fuji had welcomed the “first snow” of this year.
