Shiretoko, Hokkaido, which is listed as a World Natural Heritage site, is visited by many tourists.

The Shiretoko Odan Road crosses the Shiretoko Peninsula.
However, it is closed in winter due to the extreme cold and volume of snow.
Each year, residents eagerly await snow clearing activities to open the road, which signals the beginning of spring.
Why not join a tour to see the dynamic snow clearing, using a rotary snow blower, and the wall of snow that is created by the snow clearing.
