Healthy skepticism is good!
In that spirit, I found another source (again in Japanese) which analyzed the snowfall around Aomori. In keeping with what you said, this source does suggest higher snowfall at higher elevations. However, it still confirms an annual average of 600 cm in the city proper (with more than 1100 cm in mountains).
Figure 2 Distribution of total annual snowfall in Aomori Prefecture (1961-70) Aomori Prefecture Agricultural Meteorological 10-Year Report (Aomori Prefecture) According to the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Forestry, 1971). (Translated via Google--amounts are in meters)

The objective measurements from the JMA are better quality evidence than random photos off the internet. Random photos can give a misleading impression of a climate.
