The city of Sapporo Hokkaido Japan engulfed by a powerful snowstorm with winds reaching 11m/s.
Following the extreme blizzard in the suburbs, this video captures the scene in central Sapporo on the morning of February 19, 2026. Starting at 7:42 AM from Odori Station(Subway)Exit12, I walk through the iconic Red Brick Terrace and in front of the Former Hokkaido Government Office Building toward Sapporo Station and Keio Plaza Hotel Sapporo.
The temperature is -0.7°C (30.7°F), but the 11m/s (25mph) winds create a biting chill and swirling snow that obscures the city skyscrapers. Experience the contrast between the historic architecture and the raw, modern-day power of a Hokkaido winter storm.
