I wish. Our place in Niseko (in Hokkaido) is so far buried that we have to get in from the 2nd floor balcony. The guy we use to clear out the snow usually comes in a couple hours if we call. He's so busy he says he can't make it until the day after tomorrow. Sapporo broke January snowfall records, and given how much snow normally falls each winter, that is saying something. The tourists love it, the ski resorts are packed.
