The Japanese call this animal the snow monkey because it can be found in the snowy regions of Japan.
А почему regions of Japan, а не regions IN Japan?
Получится, что регионы отдельно, а Япония отдельно. В русском похоже: “Мяч в комнате в шкафу (два раздельных объекта) vs “Мяч в углу комнаты (угол неотъемлемая часть комнаты)”
А как тогда сказать “Гости Санкт-Петербурга”?
С of. Но когда люди покидают город, они перестают быть гостями, а шкаф будет выполнять свою функцию и вне помещений. Статус гостя имеет смысл только при наличии места, хотя сам статус временный, и конкретное место может меняться, т.е по морфологии динамизм, а по функции статизм/стяжение.
