Japanese Government Spokesperson and Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara warned of the intensity of heavy snowfall that has fallen again.
This was conveyed by Minoru following the warming of northern Japan.
"Please pay attention to your safety," he told reporters Wednesday, February 4, quoted by AP.
Two weeks earlier, heavy snow hit northern Japan, causing the death of 35 people.
Minoru said that in the midst of the warming weather, greater danger may occur as the snow begins to melt, resulting in landslides and slippery surfaces.
"Wear a helmet or use a safety rope, especially when clearing snow," he said.
The cause of the heavy snowfall that hit northern Japan is not yet known. However, deaths and accidents related to heavy snowfall are not uncommon in Japan, with 68 deaths reported during the six-month winter of the previous year, according to the Fire and Disaster Management Agency.
Heavy snow is expected to fall again in northern Japan over the weekend.
