Recently, a clip showing heavy snowfall burying cars belonging to Vietnamese workers in Japan has gone viral on social media.

The person who posted the clip, Ms. Hiền (born in 1993, living in Obihiro, Hokkaido, Japan), said that every snow season, she prepares her “snow-clearing tools.” However, last week, Ms. Hiền was surprised by the overwhelming amount of snow that completely buried her car, taking her an entire afternoon to clear.
“When there’s heavy snowfall, I usually get a few days off work for safety reasons. The outside temperature is extremely cold, so I have to make sure to stay warm,” Ms. Hiền shared.
Vietnamese workers in Japan say that after the snow melts, it becomes a “nightmare” as streets become dirty and harder to clean.
According to The Guardian, many areas in Japan were recently hit by heavy snowstorms, causing disruptions to rail and air travel. Residents struggled to dig out their cars buried under snow within just a few hours, while meteorological agencies described this cold spell as “the harshest in years.”
Hokkaido, Japan’s largest northernmost island, along with Japan’s eastern coastline, were among the hardest-hit regions. The severe weather forced domestic airlines to cancel numerous flights between cities in these areas and Tokyo.
According to Kyodo News Agency, several train lines in central Japan also temporarily suspended operations. Due to the heavy snowfall, officials urged residents to use specialized snow tires to ensure safe travel.
Meteorological authorities reported that Shirakawa Town in Gifu Prefecture recorded up to 129 cm of snow in just 48 hours, marking a record high. Meanwhile, nearly a meter of snow fell in Joetsu, Niigata Prefecture, and Honbestu in Hokkaido.
