One of the most heavy snowfall areas in Japan, Takada district in Joetsu city, Niigata prefecture. Here, a “Snow drif(Ryusetsuko)” is laid to allow snow to flow along with a large amount of water. Operation is left to the locals, with odd days, even days, mornings and afternoons available. When it comes time to remove snow, all the contacts will come in contact at once, and everyone will be shoveling snow. "The snow is gone."Residents praising the effect show that it is by no means exaggerated. Shooting January 26, 2018
