Motomachi Station Intersection Traffic

The Higashi District Junction

This camera overlooks a major intersection in the Higashi ward of Sapporo, where Kita-24-jo-dori and Tonden-dori cross. The wide, orderly avenues are typical of the city's grid, framing a constant flow of local traffic through one of the district's key crossings.

A Working Transit Corridor

The junction sits beside Motomachi Station on the Toho Subway Line, making it a hub of everyday movement. Streetcar rails, marked crosswalks and traffic signals coordinate the steady passage of cars, buses and cyclists across the broad carriageways.

Emergency Response Nearby

The Higashi Fire Station stands close to this crossing, so viewers regularly catch fire engines and ambulances setting out on calls. Their passage through the intersection offers a candid glimpse of the city's public services in action.

Sapporo's Urban Backdrop

Beyond the junction rise the apartment blocks and mixed low-rise buildings of residential Sapporo, with the mountains that encircle the Ishikari plain visible on the far horizon — a compact portrait of daily life in Hokkaido's largest city.
