Snowfall at Asakusa

Tokyo experiences snowfall for not more than 3-4 times a winter season. A blanket of snow in the metropolis makes for pretty pictures, but grinds the traffic to a halt even with 5 cm of pileup. Unique 'snow make-up' (loosely translated from the Japanese word "yuki-keshou") offers rare views of the city. Asakusa, a popular tourist destination, is pictured in a rare snow pileup mode.

It's so nice seeing Asakusa at winter. All covered with snow, especially the temple!
