Tokyo filled up with snow, but the Japanese knew what to do with it

Last week in Tokyo there was a very large-scale snowfall, causing chaos throughout the city. People threw cars right on the roads, trains stopped moving, and passengers at the airport were crowded with 250 canceled flights.

“For four years, Tokyo didn’t snow,” says one of the city’s residents. “Four years ago we had even more phenomenal snowfall, and then the city was less prepared for this. This time, it seems, everything but me, they knew that this was coming. For me it came as a surprise! "

What remains to be done when the city is covered with snow? Of course, sculpt snowmen! But before you imagine two snow balls, a carrot instead of a nose and a branch as limbs, remember that we are talking about Japan. It seems that the concept of snow sculptures among the Japanese is much more extensive and rich than that of Europeans and Americans!
