Safe transport in winter.
Sapporo and its surrounding areas including Ishikari get about 100 cm of snow every winter. 40% of Hokkaido’s population is concentrated in Sapporo and Ishikari metropolitan area. This is extremely rare because of Hokkaido’s severe winters. However, snow in no way hinders business activities or daily life thanks to national and local snow plow managers.
Although the work system of snow plows varies depending on the administrator of each road, the main road in the Ishikari Bay New Port area is supposed to be plowed when there is just 10 cm of snow to always ensure smooth flow of traffic.
