Those are snow fences. Quoting Wikipedia, "A snow fence, like a sand fence, forces windblown, drifting snow to accumulate in a desired place. They are primarily employed to minimize the amount of snowdrift on roadways and railways."
They look like something we use to prevent snow drifts from being to high. Might be something to be used to keep snow from drifting on to the farm it self.
Matt, for a temp "dead cat" filter, you can stop at a store selling craft materials or toys, (fur on the top of little toy trolls), and look for fake fur. It works pretty darn good in a pinch. Good Luck!
+sameerkm99 once your outside of the states everything is a variable voltage. I just make sure when I buy something it works both ways. Fried a modem when I first came to china and learned my lesson
A little suggestion: it would be neat if u put a map and highlight the route in the beginning of the video. I don't know how much work that will take. But I think it's helpful for view to have a rough idea "oh he's on this path in this video" "oh he moved from here to there on the map".
Matt, check out TokyoJoVlogs.. he's a youtubers I grew up with in Florida who lives and vlogs in Tokyo. May be interesting to see you guys get together. And it's always nice to have a conversation with an American when you've been away for so long! Check him out!

That aerial shot at 5:36 is amazing with all the parts and colors forming perfect lines :))
Wonderful as usual Matt.. I love watching your videos. You have such good people skills!

Your trip is going amazing. The best luck in the way. Bless from Chile!
Nice drone shots. Hope for warmer weather.
I never realized that it could still be so cold in late June in Japan. I guess you are pretty far north.
That's some great footage!
It looks like a great experience.

very good vlog, loving it.
yes for snow they help with snow drifts.
Maybe those things are used for drying out seaweed, or some type of vegetation.
How the heck are you riding that trike with sandals???? I'd be too worried my foot would slip off.
Matt, how do you cope with the different power options, 110v in Japan and 220v elsewhere, while on your ride?

Michael Han good idea!
Michael Han Have you checked out his website and the huge map it has?
"That's a big box !" sez the guy who pulled a box bigger than that with a trike.......lol
Who doesn't love the sound of a Harley.
Wet n cold is never nice.
How is that thing going up-hill?
Matt, why don't you put the Kanji of the Japanese cities names in the title? That way more Japanese users may find your channel.
JA YOE!!!
👍

Qiyong Chen Snow barriers, seen them on videos up in Canada.

HAHAH no... just wanted to run out of there fast.
When you go back south do you have any intentions of going near Fukushima? That place is so spooky it would be a hell of a story to tell.
