Snow in Tokyo

When we left Domo-domo last night, it was snowing in Tokorozawa. We're talking minor, minor flakes, most melting before they hit the ground. Not much by some standards, but Keiko said it was the first time she had seen snow in Tokyo.

2008/01/23 update: Hara-san says it is snowing for real in Tokyo now.

Odd day today. Tried to find the punks of Yoyogi but failed for the most part. Apparently 4pm on a Wednesday is not the optimal punking hour, so I wandered around a massive temple (Meiji Jingu) in Yoyogi Koen instead. I finally found my punks down in Harajuku (on the endlessly amusingly named Takeshita-dori).

Afterwards went to meet KPH et al for dinner in Torkowozawa for the umibudo (sea grapes) pictured, in addition to some sweet potato sake and cheesy potatoe leeks pancakes. I got thoroughly bested in the drum game but vow vengence in the (near) future.

Tomorrow, sumo!
