According to the Hong Kong media South China Morning Post, 'Tobu Top Tour', a local travel agency in Sapporo, northern Japan, presented 'Snow Clearing Tour' as a local specialty.
Sapporo, with a population of 2 million, is famous for being one of the snowiest cities in the world, with a third of the year maintaining sub-zero temperatures and an average of 5m of snow falling every winter.
Travel agencies offer tourists the opportunity to tour snow removal in a snow removal specialized vehicle.
The price is 250,000 yen (about 2.37 million won) for 1 to 6 people and is available from January to early March.
Several homestays in Hokkaido Prefecture, as well as travel agencies, have begun offering services to board snow-making trucks to attract tourists.
Some Chinese tourists enjoyed the snow removal experience and shared the experience on social media during their visit here.
In response, the South China Morning Post said "It has emerged as a new trend among young travelers who prioritize hands-on adventures over shopping."
It's amazing in Japan" is the response.
'Remove snow' is also a difficult task for local residents because it has developed it into a profitable tourism business.
Japanese netizens welcomed the idea, saying, `The first person who came up with this idea is a genius.' However, Chinese netizens responded, `It's ridiculous.' Some also argued that it would be a refreshing and enjoyable experience for residents of southern China who rarely see snow.
