Literally the coldest place in Japan would be the summit of Mt. Fuji, however people don't permanently inhabit this area and it is a at a very high altitude.

The coldest inhabited low lying area in Japan is found on the northern island of Hokkaido, a place known as Rikubetsu. Night time temperatures average lower than -20℃, with temperatures frequently as low as -30℃.

Most of central Hokkaido averages night-time low temperatures below -15℃ and usually don't rise above -4℃ in the day. The climate of this area in Japan falls under the Humid Continental classification, though bordering very closely with Subarctic.

Some settlements found at higher altitudes on the mainland of Japan, mainly in and around the Northern Japanese Alps can be extremely cold. Shokawa, a village located in the outer reaches of Takayama City averages a night time low temperature of around -13℃ during February, but however due to its location and elevation experiences much more in the way of heavy snow and strong wind in comparison to that of Central and Eastern Hokkaido.

These areas of the Northern Alps can indeed feel much colder due to the significant wind chill and wilder mountain weather.

Similar climate is found in parts of Canada including Quebec and Ontario.
