From November, shrubs were covered against snow. The locals call this work is called ”冬囲い(winter cover)”. 

Most of the shorter trees planted in front of buildings are covered with blue netting and other materials or have their branches tied tightly. 
Or they are supported so that the snow doesn't come into direct contact with them. 

Sometimes they look like bags of rubbish. I'm sorry to say...
Fully covered version. This view reminded me of the film The Elephant Man.

I wonder why they planted trees in the first place if the plants need to be covered for a quite a long period of time, probably until April when the snow completely disappears. I don't think this tradition is good for either the plants to be covered or for the owners of the plants who have to bear a certain financial burden every single winter to cover their trees. 

However, covering water taps in parks makes perfect sense to me.
