Snowy Backyard
Had a nice snow in Tokyo yesterday, Sunday February 3rd. I'm not sure what the official snowfall total was but I would say at least 4" fell. I think the temperature was above freezing for most of the day so quite a bit of it melted.
After a short visit to the Tipness gym we headed over to Shinjuku for lunch and some more snow photos. We rode the Yamanote JR train line which is a large circular route around central Tokyo. It's about 1 hour completely around the route. Near the end of the video below you see a train platform on the left that's reserved for use only by the Emperor. Not sure how much he travels by train these days...
The NTT DoCoMo tower is one of my favorite buildings in Tokyo. It looks straight out of Gotham City.
And yes even in the snow there is a queue for Krispy Kreme doughnuts. Overall there were many fewer people out and about in Shinjuku on Sunday so apparently the snow did have an effect.
