Popular memes have claimed that the picture was taken in Massachusetts, or in Canada:The photograph was taken by Mihai Apostu and posted to hisBefore heading down town we decided to take a walk up to Towada. On the way to Towada starting from April thh Gold Line Route is opened.
National Highway 103, commonly known as the Hakkoda-Towada Gold Line, is a popular sightseeing route in Aomori.8 km of this Hakkoda-Towada Gold Line stretching from Sukayu to Yachi Hot Springs is closed off in winter, but thanks to the efforts of the Hakkoda Snowplow Squad, they plow through the snow from both ends to meet at Kasamatsu Pass in late March, creating a stunning snow corridor.
In some places the walls of snow reach a height of 9 m, allowing visitors to enjoy magnificent views of the vivid blue of the sky contrasted against the white of the snow in perfect harmony. The road opens to general traffic on April 1, but before this, a Hakkoda walk is held every year to walk through this snow corridor, and many people take part in the event.
As you can imagine, removing all that snow is no small feat. Here is video showing how something like the Hakkoda Snow Corridor is created:
