Funagata (舟形町, Funagata-machi) is a town located in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan. As of 1 January 2020, the town has an estimated population of 5,101, and a population density of 43 persons per km².
Funagata is located in mountainous north-central eastern Yamagata Prefecture. The Mogami River runs through the town. The area is known for extremely heavy snowfall in winter.

Ōkura (大蔵村, Ōkura-mura) is a village in Yamagata Prefecture, Japan.
The main industry is agriculture (tomato and buckwheat), sake production, and seasonal tourism to its hot spring resorts. Kokeshi dolls are a noted local handicraft.

Hijiori Onsen
Buried in the mountainous hinterlands of Okura-mura, Hijiori Onsen hot spring resort resides in the heart of a volcanic caldera, from which mineral rich waters feed the innumerable bathhouses and onsen ryokan throughout this tiny hamlet. Known mainly to locals for its legendary and often-thought miraculous healing waters, a rare few travelers outside of Japan ever set foot inside the village.
A journey to Hijiori Onsen brings about a sense of having wandered into a village lost to time and the forests that surround it. Aside from modern amenities, Hijiori Onsen retains much of its 17th century Edo Period rustic elegance. The same twenty-six founding families operate all the ryokan and shops in town, and that sense of community handed down through the generations still permeates daily life here.

Yamagata Prefecture (山形県, Yamagata-ken) is a prefecture of Japan located in the Tōhoku region of Honshu.
The climate of Yamagata Prefecture is characterized by long, hot, and humid summers and long, snowy winters. Both spring and autumn are short, the former often cold, the latter often warm, but both quite dry and sunny. Yamagata Prefecture, along with northern parts of Miyagi and Iwate are the transition areas from humid subtropical climate (Koppen Cfa/Cwa) to humid continental within the Japan mainland. Winter temperatures rarely fall below −10 °C (14 °F) in populated areas; they frequently rise above 30 °C (86 °F) in July and August. Precipitation falls all year round and the remnants of one or perhaps two typhoons usually pass through between August and October. The winters see heavy snowfall especially at higher elevations, though the Japan Sea coast (Sakata) is milder and has more rain. Snowfall for Shinjō is typical of populated mountainous areas, snowfall for Yamagata City typical of the valleys. The central mountains around Gassan may see as much as 3,000 centimetres (98.43 ft) of snow in a season with depths up to 8 metres (26 ft) at higher elevations.
Yamagata Prefecture is the largest producer of cherries and pears in Japan. A large quantity of other kinds of fruits such as grapes, apples, peaches, melons, persimmons and watermelons are also produced.

What an excellent ride in this conditions!! Great work, thanx for taking us with you and ........ More please!!!
Thank you! There will be more coming :)
The car filming is going above the speed for the weather conditions
Hi. Where was this prefecture? Do you need snow chain on tyres?
Yamagata Pref. Studless tires are needed.
What do people do with their supercars in this weather? Still ride them?
They don't drive them in the winter in this area. Thanks for watching!
How are you driving so fast in that type of weather?
Hey thefives7ar, thanks for watching!
I grew up in the snowy region :)
Rewatching this now... Need my 'snow' fill...
It's been rough - couldn't really go to the Australian Snowfields this year due to COVID (COVID also ruled out the other Snow-areas we have in Tasmania too); last years trip to Austria and Germany (in the snow) was cancelled due to COVID, and last year's Australian snow season was cancelled due to COVID. With the way things are, we shan't really be getting back to Japan for snow until maybe winter 2022/3 and probably the same for Austria... Assuming the Booster vaccines do the job.
But as for this year, I think it's over! With the way things are here right now, COVID will still impact a Snow trip in the Mid Semester Break, and the LATE snows that hit the Snowfields and Tasmanian Highlands, are right in the middle of the exam period...
Just got to hang on for 2022 now :(
It's been tough. Hang in there Dan. Thanks for watching.
That was an excellent trip, I didn't know it snowed this much in certain parts of Japan, such a beautiful country and thanks for taking us on this trip.
Happy to hear you enjoyed the ride. Thanks Millard, and have a great day!

ありがとう、東京スミス、それはあなたの最高のドライブです、(これまで)。それは私が見るのを楽しみにしていたビデオであり、私は失望しませんでした。ホワイトアウトでこのような素晴らしい景色。あなたが運転していたようにまだ雪が降っています。トレーラーとスノーモービルを引っ張っていましたか?あなたはそれを必要としていたかもしれません。シベリアで見るシーンを思い出しました。英和翻訳を使っているのと同じ翻訳を理解して下さることを願っています。
Thank you Peter! The translation turned out good :)
@@TOKYOSMITH Thank you Tokyo Smith. I used the translator in "Word" and did a "Copy & Paste" into TH-cam.
Hi Tokyo Smith! Beautiful scenery! Do you have any videos of snowy places nearer to Tokyo like Tochigi or Gunma?
Thanks for watching! So far, I only got videos of the snowy Tohoku region th-cam.com/play/PLMeDOBTh32mrJnYQwvbPQtdQcW-UFwzu-.html

Thanks for watching, Rider Shaw! And the answer is yes :)

Thanks for watching!
What vehicle you driving?
Suzuki's Every. Thanks for watching!
Wow, simply stunning. It must be ten years or more since I last drove in snow like this. Certainly brings the phrase 'winter wonderland' to life, but its snow joke (😂sorry) to drive in. Thanks for sharing.❄⛄👍
Thanks for watching, Paddy!
@@TOKYOSMITH Really enjoyed it. I'd almost forgotten what snow looked like, lol!
@@PaddyStubbs70 Cool! I always enjoy reading your feedback. So, it doesn't snow much in the region you live in?
Ha ha, no. In the last 10 yrs I've seen a light flurry twice and on both occasions it had vanished within a couple of hours. They do get quite a bit on the moors about 25 miles from here, though.
this place is so beautiful!!
Thanks for watching!
This is so pretty
Thanks Sorana!
Excellent Video. A lot of snow :)

@@TOKYOSMITH I started a channel, if interested I will post videos in 360 here in Québec
