One of the wildest weekends, came at the hands of the biggest snowstorm in 21 years here in Hokkaido. Here in Ishikari we had two 50+cm snow days in four days, but the 54cm snow day that rocked Sapporo disrupted everything.

JR was shut down, buses stopped running, schools closed, people were forced to camp overnight in the airport and underground shopping malls.

It's been a wild week here in Sapporo. I suppose the snowiest January in 2 decades will do that.

Wherever you are, I hope you managed to stay safe and warm, and have been able to enjoy your Hokkaido vacation.
