East Asia's humid continentals with palms?

East Asia (especially Korea and Japan)'s humid continentals are surprisingly mild. Muroran, Hokkaido is in hardiness zone 8b, despite having -2C winter mean! 
I wonder - can palms survive there?

Korea is much more continental than Japan.., hotter in Summer, colder in Winter.  Big temperature differences between norther North Korea and southern, South Korea.  Obviously, palm options increase as one heads south. But even in Seoul, Trachycarpus and S. minors might be good to go (and their climates have been getting milder with the rest of the planet).  Japan even in the north might be good with Trachycarpus.  A lot of East Asia though has an advantage over North America..., MUCH. MUCH drier in the cold of Winter over there than North America, where Winters can be not only frigid but WET, not helpful.
