On February 8, the capital was blanketed in a rare, picturesque snowfall

While plum blossoms have started to bloom and we inch closer to spring, it’s still technically winter – and this past weekend’s weather proves it’s worth keeping your mitts and winter jackets out for a few more weeks. From the evening of Saturday February 7 through most of Sunday February 8, Tokyo experienced another rare snowfall, following a previous snow day in early January.
It may be freezing cold, but a fresh blanket of snow somehow makes the city look even more beautiful and calm. If you slept in or missed most of the snowfall, we’ve scoured social media for some of the most stunning shots from the weekend. Enjoy!
