Snow removal work was being carried out in Mibuka Town, Hokkaido, on National Route 40, a trunk road in the northern Hokkaido region connecting Asahikawa City and Wakkanai City.
The snow piles between the sidewalk and the roadway, which were already 2 meters high, were cleared one section at a time until the curb could be seen.
(The video does not show this.) Some local residents, who are accustomed to the condition where there is no difference between the snow-covered roadway and sidewalk, started their cars without noticing that the difference was the same as it was when there was no snow. This was a rare occurrence.
We hope you will enjoy the skills of this team of craftsmen.
