And a new cold wave coming in before New Years. The snow country areas are going to get totally powdered!

I want to spend my next year winter in Hokkaido.
Enjoy snow, Onsen, Hot Nabe and Hot Sake.
Hokkaido People are the most relaxed people I ever met.

It must be very cold. Thank you for the hard work.

The platform at Tomamu Station is quite low, less than 50 centimetres above the railbed. The platform is also narrow; barely 2 metres in width. The perspective of the photo hides one of the two rails, which can be seen more clearly in this photograph:

Love Hokkaido, the food, atmosphere, etc, but, I don't want to be there now. Ishigaki or even further south for this sun lover.

Mocheake-san,
Totally agree. Looking at this photo, I am so glad we moved to Okinawa from Sapporo. Here, when it gets down to 14C, people wear overcoats and complain about how cold it is!
Give me sunshine, every time!

But its also an easy job. No hassle from anyone. Just on your own. Plus pay is very good. Only if you don't care about the dignity.

I would invest in a walk behind snow blower - sacrifice the serenity for an hour to get that cleared though.
