What's the secret? Meet WHITE IMPLUSE, a snow removal crew that has become quite famous in Japan. During the year, most of the team is working on farms, but when the winter season hits and Aomori's snow comes down hard, the they spring into action like superheroes.
This is also an episode on TEAM WORK in Japan and the importance at perfecting one's job to the very smallest detail. Everything is essential and it's on full display here.

I am Japanese. Thank you for introducing Japan by making lots of such videos. Since Japanese is a minor language when viewed worldwide, I hope that many people in the world can understand Japanese culture and customs in English. If you like it as a result of seeing this video, please come to Japan. It will certainly be memorable. Thank you for reading! :D
P.S.
I used google. I'm sorry if I made a mistake.(｡-人-｡)
MiyagiRiku Your English is great, no mistakes
Thank you for such writing a very nice message to everyone! -john
ONLY in JAPAN hey John, nice videos! Can you do one about Japanese earthquake proof buildings, their different construction code, etc.,? Thanks!
マイナーだとしても日本語を学ぶほど日本が大好きな外国人はいっぱいいますえ! 素敵な国や言葉やと思うねん。近いうちにまた日本に参りたいと思いってんねん。
+MiyagiRiku
Hi, Miyagi! Thank you for the wonderful message. The English is very good; no mistakes! I am an American and I love your incredibly beautiful, humble and welcoming culture. I am awe of how accommodating the Japanese people are and how beautiful your country is.
It is words like yours from people like you that make me want to visit your wonderful country. I hope to have the opportunity to do so at some point. In the meantime, "Arigato" and "Aiwokomete" (I, too, used Google).❤❤❤
the japanese have this sense of duty and pride in everything they do. It is amazing and a little intimidating
Guys that are plowing snow feel it like saving the world, i bet!
Those guys waving goodbye to the passengers was so sweet.
HarryIsTheGamingGeek true
Thats japanese service - TOP
As a Japanese, I must say that I guess you even deserve to have your own real TV show "ONLY in JAPAN." We are really happy about that!
this is why I love Japanese culture and truly respect there hard work, thanks John for making such a informative videos .love from India .
Efficiency level: Japan
Morning John! Filming in that snow.... cannot even imagine how hard it would have been. Excellent work!
凄い、、滑走路の雪が重機でみるみる内に削ぎ取られてく「一度も着陸を断った事が無い」に痺れました。日本の仕事の誇りですね。離着陸する飛行機が、ありがとうって言ってるよう。隊員の方々兼業農家の方も見えるのですか？それも驚きです！
Wow, i am impressed with their teamwork! Thank you john for letting us know those people who work hard behind the plane runway to ensure that the passengers on board have a safe landing and taking off!
There a lot of stories behind the little things people do for us all. Thank you for watching! I thought this one deserved to be told.
Perfect title... "Only in Japan" will you see this much coordination and perfection and hard work.
You deserve waaaay more subscribers 😀
Yes & no! Yes, because John deserves the best of everything and should always be a massive success in all things and he's literally THE BEST. But then no, because I selfishly like this small channel and the smaller community vibe we have going on. :-) But yes always wins out because I only want the best for John.
Michell R all bigger channels do Vlog and i dont think john is that type of guy.
ryudada ? All she said was that John deserve more subscribers
I know right! All of his videos are very informative.
This short program is always on NHK channel...😁 so i guess a lot of people watch it...but it's good to know he has a youtube channel here since i don't really watch tv nowadays...
Japanese people have every reason to be proud of themselves, they done everything perfectly well and neat. I can't stop falling in love with Japan for so many reasons.
I'm so happy that this channel is finally getting recognized. I have been trying to share this channel to friends for the last 2 years.
Thank you Jordy!!!! Any recognition is because it's being shared :) so I'm super appreciative of that. -john
HANDS DOWN THE BEST JAPANESE CULTURE YT CHANNEL! Been watching John forever and will continue to. Thanks for the awesome content!
John, I've watched all of your videos, and I just have to comment what an excellent UA-camr/video producer you are. There are so many channels producing videos about Japan, but none come even close to the level of detail and professionalism you bring. I fell like I'm watching a television show every episode. And that's without even mentioning your fantastic and sweet personality. Thanks for all the great educational videos you produce. People like you make UA-cam a better place.
Japan in one word...AWESOMENESS. It's impressive to see this quality at every level of the society.
White impulse had to be one of the coolest names I've ever heard. I remember catching the shinkansen from Tokyo to Shin-Aomori, It was the first time Ive ever gotten to see snow in real life, I was thrilled, walking around like a child because I was so happy.
紹介してくれて、ありがとう！
Never clicked on video so fast.
Right, when you see a video from John you know it will be quality content.
Xcaliber Trekker i agree
There is a work ethic in Japanese culture that is unparalleled in the world. Every time I watch one of your vlogs I want to visit Japan more and more.
everytime there is a onlyinjapan video I stop what I'm doing and watch it! great job John!
Another fantastic episode, John. I am in awe of White Impulse. I would happily land at Aomori even in a blizzard. They are like poetry in motion; they move with grace and purpose and show everyone the well oiled machine they are. As always, it makes me so happy to see the pride and respect that this country's people has for one another. It's so beautiful. Thank you. ❤❤❤
Love the, "Fake news" reference at the end. Funny. Awesome video by the way, great work as usual.
New respect for japanese people. Really you guys constantly showing nothing is impossible with hard work. Remarkable.
It's always impressive to depart or arrive on time in such weather. Shout out to White Impulse and all other airport snow removing crews.
We need an Episode for Retro Games Shops in Japan. Plzzzzz
Ali Mansour i thought he had one?
Ali Mansour yesssss
holy shit its ali^^ hi its koto nya X3
The folks who clear the snow from the airport runways, taxiways, and aprons perform a service that few of us notice. Those of us who live in cold, snowy climates sround the world often take their efforts for granted. They need to work whenever nature dumps snow on an airport. They can be required to work on special family occasions, holidays, and even on days when they just do not feel like going to work. As the supervisor in this video points out, lives can be at stake here. And they do their duty for thise of us, passengers and crews who fly. Thank you. ご助力ありがとうございます
This is a literal performance of beauty!! Never thought I would say that about snow plows! LOL
Japan is so admirable as a country. there's so much to learn from them
Really great video John. Impressive statistics they have. In Denmark they'll start cancelling departures in advance if weather forecast says "snow". Thumbs up!
Thomas
SUPERGENKI JAPAN
Here in Stockholm we have "feminist snowplowing" and nobody goes nowhere
LOL
Your voice, Video editing, video shots everything is like a TV production. NHK should hire you.
Thank you again for this amazing video, and thank you that introducing Japanese culture, life and art. I have a feeling that Aomori is all the best place if you want to miss out overwhelming big city experience.
I love how the guy he interviews doesn't understand the word "Impossible". Crazy dedication
This is amazing! They should do that in Hokkaido too. Always cancel and delay flight
I wanted to ask about Hokkaido... they get a lot of snow there!
Sometimes I stash a video aside when I know I am going to have a challenging week. Thank you for his video. Great work.
I'm addicted to this channel!🥄💉
you don't know how much excitement i got for just watching a video. this channel is a pure gold. thanks for another awesome video, great job
Amazing!!! I LOVE JAPAN!
how come Japan works together but when the UK has snow everything grinds to a halt and old people break their hips as they insist on going out for milk
The do it for the pay, but the Japanese do it for the "honor" and pride. It's taught to them from basic schools. However even the schools are too much for some people who brain melts from the exams and they become shut-ins. I'd love to go to Japan asap :/
Susie English The Japanese have a huge cash surplus from selling tiny cars and electronics world wide. So Japan can afford the expenditure. The U.K. Has been in economic decline since the end of World War II. 😑😑😑😑😑😑😑
Susie English There are several reasons, but the simplest is exemplified within the first 3 minutes: "Aomori has never had a delayed flight due to snow"
The kind of dedication required for this is incredible, and the respect for this history reinforces the dedication to maintaining it. You will find Japan is full of stuff like this.
In Finland we have lots of snow near the airport so we have the worlds best equipment to handle snow
As DasFresh said, not enough snow to make it worth investing in the equipment to deal with it. Japan has the 3 snowiest cities on the planet. And Aomori is number one. Absolutely no other city on earth comes even remotely close to the 312 inches of annual snow fall they receive. They don't have a choice, especially since they get a lot of tourism from the fact that they are the snowiest city on earth.
There's also the fact that Japan is a collectivist society and people are more likely to feel a social duty to keep the sidewalks clean and safe for everyone.
13:30 Really awesome to see snow getting sucked into the jet engine!
never before have I thought of snowplow operators as badass. But then, suddenly..... WHITE IMPULSE
I feel so cozy watching this from the inside of my warm house.
another epic video... i'm glad you covered lots of aspects that we viewers seldom see
Looks like "forest" in the middle of the name on that truck.
Wagner's music is perfect for this!
That airport must have a very good ILS system!
Amazing, they buy their trucks from AMERICA!
Hot Springs looked like a treat in that snow
無駄な動きが一切ない素晴らしい連携プレイですよ。
Thank you for showing the spotlight on Aomori. I love living here in northern Tohoku. Wouldn't trade it for the world.
Jason Barker really love Tohoku! I'll be back there next month :)
It's amazing how organised things are in Japan.
You really know how to turn a mundane topic into a fascinating story.
Great video I never thought 40 minute will be that fast to get all the snow away for the plane come down that's some good teamwork right there
As you can see by the logo on the seats, that sweeper and plow truck is made by Oshkosh, from my neighbor to the north, Wisconsin! Oshkosh also makes military trucks!
This country is absolutly unique.
I feel that this video deserves more views than it has.
Another quality video from John. Thanks for the effort you took into making this video.
I cant get enough of japan. I NEED to go there :D
My boring night is fixed with new OIJ episode!
I love seeing the jet engines intake air streams when its snowing, you can see it! 13:33
Wow love this video great job White Impulse and John thanks for bringing this to us☮️❤️🍀🦋😎
I'm loving that green Volvo XC60 they use, I have one and it's a monster in the snow...
Planning and co-ordination at its best.
Excellent video and story. Really enjoyed it, especially the interviews with the snow removal employees. The interview with the rice farmer/snow removal gentleman was fascinating. The sense of teamwork is evident. Always a pleasure to learn more about Japan. I hope to visit again soon!
Finland is also very good with their snow removal. And it can get very snowy and cold.
Pretty convenient to have in Japan
Thanks for sharing it to us!
I've never knew about this until now.
Thanks again John!
I so need that snowblower at 4:30 to clear my driveway. Another great video.
Notification Squad!
Shut......Up!!
Rogue troll plow truck spotted at 2:21 :)
Logan S hehehe! I left that in for fun :p glad you found that. -John
Logan S haha good observation
That shovel spoon is so cool!
Hi John, I really enjoy watching your videos, Only In Japan. My wife and I would love to visit Japan, to see the culture, the history and of course try the food!!
John u crack me up on that bouncy seat.. it's called an air seat most new semis and school buses have them.. they save on your back alot
Aomori is really just a winter wonderland!!
It's like a NASCAR race! Your the best John.
All your traveling and history/background inspires me a lot to come to Japan! I also love your videos, they are so unique from the other videos (well, you started to live in Japan since 1994? I think?). It is such a unique and amazing country, continue the good work!
I wish I was a part of white impulse! They look prepared.
when i left hakodate in february in the morning, like 5 am, there were so many plow trucks clearing the roads from all the snow....they work so hard but it was cool to see it....no one was walking the streets besides me so it was like a little show just for me lol
love your shows Japan is on my bucket list
If I had the money I would visit Japan. Very cool country.
I love your shows John. they really do take me to a different place. I wish they were longer!!! lol
Super impressive. Reminds me of the Blue Angels
You always find the best topics! Thanks so much for your hard work!
Loved it, so much to take in from food to heavy machines to hot springs. Still cant believe all that manpower and equipment they use. In the US they would try to do it with only a few guys and much larger equipment to save money. One of your best yet keep it up.
I love this channel - Your series is far better than 99% of traditional TV programs.
Do you have any other shows? Where can we find more John Daub??
you have no idea how happy i am for this fast upload , LIKE !
I really love this episode
Wonderful content as always~! The Curry Rice Challenge dish was so cute; I loved that even the plate was a runway underneath!! Japan always pays attention to detail.
So professional! Salute to the snow clearing team!
Another incredible video John!
Awesome video! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the amazing works. I always have great times watching videos in your channel and getting to know Japan more and more. Can't wait to see your next video to cheer up the day!
Definitely a dream job!
That old train is awesome!
love your vlog channel. I've traveled to Tokyo and Osaka, best travel destination by choose. I love the culture and traditional values of Japan. In closing it is a pleasure to watch your show, and how educational and informative it is.
Outstanding video-- as always!!!
It is inspiring to see the kind of teamwork that White Impulse absolutely defines.
Keep up the good work! ...You just added a new place for me to visit when I come to Japan!
...Riding the Tsugaru Railway looks like a great way to experience winter. I have to do it.
Starting at (13:30) is an interesting piece of video I have never seen on the net before
(and I do watch videos of commercial aircraft) of snow being sucked into the plane's engine.
Finally, it is entirely worthwhile and heartwarming to see the respect that the ground
crew pays to the departing passengers.
Honestly Canada needs this way more because the airports get a 5 inch layer of ice on the runway.
Great video John! 👍🏻👍🏻
Thanks John
all the best for Japanese people from mexico.
You are never banal!
Wow, They do a great job. Have you been watching the World Baseball Classic . Japan is doing great . Me and my family have watched ever Japan game so far , we enjoy the crowds excitement and songs for the Japanese players . Have you been to any games ?
all countries should have snow removal teams in airports
YAY!!! More video of only in Japan!!! Kawaii! ^0^
