Published 2017-03-07
Aomori Airport has gone to the EXTREME when it comes to snow removal. They're so good at it that this airport has NEVER HAD A SNOW CANCELATION. Not once despite having the most snow on Japan's main island.
What's the secret? Meet WHITE IMPLUSE, a snow removal crew that has become quite famous in Japan. During the year, most of the team is working on farms, but when the winter season hits and Aomori's snow comes down hard, the they spring into action like superheroes.

This is also an episode on TEAM WORK in Japan and the importance at perfecting one's job to the very smallest detail. Everything is essential and it's on full display here.

THANK YOU!

    I am Japanese. Thank you for introducing Japan by making lots of such videos. Since Japanese is a minor language when viewed worldwide, I hope that many people in the world can understand Japanese culture and customs in English. If you like it as a result of seeing this video, please come to Japan. It will certainly be memorable. Thank you for reading! :D P.S. I used google. I'm sorry if I made a mistake.(。-人-。)

    凄い、、滑走路の雪が重機でみるみる内に削ぎ取られてく「一度も着陸を断った事が無い」に痺れました。日本の仕事の誇りですね。離着陸する飛行機が、ありがとうって言ってるよう。隊員の方々兼業農家の方も見えるのですか?それも驚きです!

  • I'm so happy that this channel is finally getting recognized. I have been trying to share this channel to friends for the last 2 years.

    John, I've watched all of your videos, and I just have to comment what an excellent YouTuber/video producer you are. There are so many channels producing videos about Japan, but none come even close to the level of detail and professionalism you bring. I fell like I'm watching a television show every episode. And that's without even mentioning your fantastic and sweet personality. Thanks for all the great educational videos you produce. People like you make YouTube a better place.

    White impulse had to be one of the coolest names I've ever heard. I remember catching the shinkansen from Tokyo to Shin-Aomori, It was the first time Ive ever gotten to see snow in real life, I was thrilled, walking around like a child because I was so happy.

    Japan in one word...AWESOMENESS. It's impressive to see this quality at every level of the society.
