Hokkaido and its municipalities work to ensure safe and smooth road traffic even during winter and to carry out snow removal in a way that minimizes disruption to residents’ daily lives. After snow removal operations, any snow remaining in front of individual homes (entrances, garages etc.) should be removed by the respective households.
Please check our multilingual leaflet based on information from the Hokkaido Government and Hokkaido Development Bureau for more information regarding snow removal.
