The world’s highest standard! Heavy snowfall area Sapporo Snow removal craftsmanship tour
Sapporo is the only city in the world with a population of 2 million people that receives more than 5 meters of snow annually.
In Sapporo, if the entire city were to clear snow at once, the distance would be approximately 5,200 km in one night.
And I don't know where to remove snow. This project will grasp snow removal information and take customers to places where various snow removal vehicles are active.
The pile where snow is collected is over 20m high at its highest, and can be climbed by special vehicle. When the snow is not being plowed, you can take a look inside the snow plow. Look forward to seeing what kind of experience you can have depending on the conditions of the day!
