Yes, absolutely it snows in Japan. Especially in Yukiguni.
The most recent record snows were brought by the blizzards of December 2005–February 2006, when well over 3 m (4.5 m in one part of Aomori Prefecture) of snow accumulated in many rural areas, and anywhere from 46 cm (Tottori) to nearly 1.5 m (Aomori) piled up even in several major cities.
I found a picture of the snowy mountains of Japan on Wikicommons, check this out http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/5/58/Snow_Mountains_Japan_2006_001.jpg
