Tried out a feature on the Lumix camera here to create an older style semi-black and white photo. Thought it might go well with the snow.

It doesn’t snow in Tokyo very often during the year, maybe once or twice. When it does snow it is normally in February or March, sometimes even in April. Since the snow is rare,people are excited to see it and want to venture out for a closer look.

As the rain got heavier and the air cooler, the snow started to come down.

The window got a bit too misty as the snow started to fall heavier. It was warm inside and a bit too cold for me to venture out with the camera.

The snow had mostly cleared by morning. Just a few patches remaining on the grassy areas.

Quite a few a cars passing through Shibuya this morning had snow on their roofs, left over from last night.

  1. I had noticed the lack of snow in Tokyo in a few movies, especially when someone comments on traveling north and comments on the fluffy powdery stuff everywhere.

    This is the first winter I’ve tracked the weather in Japan – is Tokyo usually this mild in winter? Apart from the freak snow day of course :)

  2. Must have been great. If you had still there your nieces and nephews… have a pipe in some drawer just in case :)

    Last time I made a snowman with friends we did a 2m (ca. 6.4 feet) one, the head fell off with the last pat of snow…
    We were like 10 to 12 yrs old.

    Good memories.

  3. This is the area where the salaryman was taking a nap in your other article. Am i correct?

  5. RT @tweetmeme Tokyo Snow, Japan Living http://bit.ly/bOWSP8 Alot of nice photos of the snowfall. In a different prospective. Alot of bloggers were posting their photos and comments of the snow fallling, and what they were doing at the time.

  6. we had “popcorn” snow the other day – “popcorn” snow is like grains of sand 1-2mm in diameter, is very dry and resembles hail . . . is usually very cold when this happens.

  7. the photos I posted weren’t of the “popcorn” snow but a storm about 2 weeks ago – still some of the stuff lying about.
