Uchiha Shunichi had heard of the Land of Snow long ago.
After Uchiha Sasuke finished his mission in the Land of Snow, he had bragged about it to Uchiha Shunichi quite a bit.

Still, since he lived in this world, Uchiha Shunichi knew something about its entertainment, including movies and novels.
Even if this world's cultural offerings were actually quite limited.
Jiraiya's Make-Out Paradise, for instance, might have looked like pornography to an outsider. In reality, however, it was a literary work akin to The Plum in the Golden Vase, very restrained and possessing a certain degree of literary merit.
"The Land of Snow has been developing well lately. There are plenty of tourists, and it looks like the people have largely escaped poverty by now," Uchiha Shunichi said to Fengxue Xiaohua with some feeling.
This woman, who had originally been nothing more than a movie star, had acted with great caution and intelligence after reclaiming her identity as queen.
She had established good relations with Konoha from the outset, using its deterrent power to ensure that none of the neighboring small nations dared attack the Land of Snow.
Under these peaceful conditions, the Land of Snow's economy had overtaken those of the surrounding small nations in one leap, even showing the potential to catch up with the Five Great Nations.
Of course, that was only in economic terms. Moreover, not all of that wealth belonged to the Land of Snow itself. Almost every year, it supplied Konoha with nearly half its resources as aid.
That was also why Konoha was the strongest of the Five Great Shinobi Villages. The other shinobi villages relied on funding from their nations and payment for their missions
