A video that was shot in Sapporo, Hokkaido, that evokes the atmosphere of a snowy country is gaining attention on social media. Many people are amazed at the way the Sapporo cityscape is instantly enveloped in white.

The city of Sapporo was swallowed up in a blizzard and disappeared.

This video was taken from the JR Tower Observatory, located 38 stories above ground and 160 meters above sea level, directly connected to Sapporo Station. At the beginning of the video, the city of Sapporo is clearly visible, but in the next moment, white snow rolls in from the right, completely blocking the view.

Many social media users have expressed surprise at this sudden change, saying things like, "It was whiteout even inside the building," "It's amazing what you can see," and "I could see something so amazing over and over again."

The photo was taken in January 2024. The weather suddenly turned from sunny to heavy snow.

Clouds swallowing the city in one fell swoop

The uploader is "Dangomushi, who moved to Sapporo." When filming began, it was still calm, but a blizzard came with strong winds, and in an instant the entire city was obscured. As the uploader himself said, "I had a feeling it was coming, so I got my camera ready," and the footage is a valuable record of the sudden change in weather.
