Snowy Sapporo Street with Umbrellas and Neon

A photorealistic winter street scene in Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan during a gentle snowfall. A wide street is lined with glass storefronts and traditional wooden eaves, lit by warm amber street lamps and vibrant neon signage in Japanese kanji and katakana. Snow blankets the ground, rooftops, and signs; footprints dot the sidewalk and snowdrifts rest along curbs. People walk along the sidewalk under colorful umbrellas—red, blue, plaid, and transparent—wearing thick winter coats, scarves, and beanies. Reflections shimmer on wet pavement, and soft blue light mixes with the golden glow of the lamps. The architecture blends modern glass façades with classic Japanese storefronts. In the distance, silhouettes of buildings glow with neon while faint steam rises from manholes in cold air. The mood is cinematic and bustling, captured with a wide-angle perspective, shallow depth of field, and natural lighting that conveys a calm Sapporo winter evening.
