Several cities have seen record snowfall this month, causing traffic disruption and several fatalities.
“I have been here for 10 years, and I have never seen anything like this,“ a resident of the remote Sukayu area of the Aomori region told TV network TBS in comments broadcast Thursday.
Sukayu is buried under five metres (16 feet) of snow, according to the Japan Meteorological Agency, reaching the roofs of two-storey buildings.
Meanwhile, in the streets of Tsunan town in Niigata, more than 3.5 metres of snow has piled up.
Hundreds of vehicles have been stranded for hours at various spots along snow-covered highways in recent days.
Three workers at a secluded mountain resort in the Fukushima region were found dead Tuesday after they apparently trekked across a snowy mountain for maintenance work at the source of a hot spring, local media reported.
Piles of snow could have trapped the gas at the hot spring’s source, the reports said.
