I hope it changed a bit, because if it doesn't snow for weeks after that, like it did when I was there, the studs on the tires would start heating up on the dry pavement and start burning the tires slowly. The stench was horrible!
I do also remember driving up many times to Towadako in Towada-Hachimantai Nat'l park and seeing 10-12 ft tall poles painted red and white, so, I could only assume, the snow-blowers know where to go! Lake Towada in the snow is absolutely beautiful!

Ouu, that sounds like a destination! (Marks on my list of things to visit and photograph).
Hehe, I don't like driving, but when I do, it's probably a motorcycle! Man... the snow is going to be bad for my motorcycles ;(.
Thanks for the info! I'm looking forward to seeing Lake Towada.
