Climate is more than just latitude anon. It's also influenced by ocean currents, winds, etc.
For example the Gulf stream of warm water from the Caribbean keeps the UK from not being like Northern Arctic Canada. Otherwise the UK would be frozen solid at that latitude. I am sure a similar phenomena is at play in Japan but I am no expert either.
Now that I'm looking at my map closely, as I wait for the timer to allow me to post, I noticed that in fact the latitude of Hokkaido isn't even that extreme.
