Insufficient snow Three 10-ton trucks giving a “snowy mountain” to the children Niigata Minami Uonuma Jan. 20, 14:17
Minami Uonuma City, Niigata Prefecture, which is known as a heavy snowfall area, has little snow and children can not play with snow, so a local construction company carried snow from the mountain and gave it to a nursery school.
Even in the Uonuma area of Niigata prefecture, known as a heavy snowfall area, there is little snow, and at the observation point in Yuzawa town there is no snow cover that exceeds 1 meter in the normal year as of the afternoon of the 20th.
Under these circumstances, a local construction company brought about three cars of snow from a mountain to a garden at Kami-Seki Nursery School in Minami-Uonuma City for children who cannot play with snow.
Twenty employees took about an hour and a half to make the snowy mountains by hand.
When completed, the 24 children enjoyed playing in the snow, climbing snowy mountains and making snowballs.
The children of this nursery gave a construction company a Christmas wreath in the fall of last year for snow removal work. That is.
A six-year-old girl said, "I'm glad I made a big mountain. The slide was fun."
Motohiro Iguchi, Sales Manager of Fueda-gumi, a construction company, said, "I couldn't see snow play in the garden, so I wanted to deliver the snow somehow. I want everyone to get along and play." Was.
