Snow in Tokyo
People walk in the snow in Tokyo's Shibuya area on Jan. 6, 2022. A heavy snowfall warning was issued Thursday in central Tokyo for the first time in four years, Japan's weather agency said, with the capital's neighboring prefectures and other areas on the Pacific coast also seeing large amounts of snow. The alert for Tokyo's 23 wards comes as the area observed 10 centimeters of snow accumulation in the evening, the Japan Meteorological Agency said, urging caution against frozen roads and traffic disruptions. Snow accumulated in central Tokyo for the first time since March 2020. The agency last issued a warning of heavy snowfall in the 23 wards in January 2018. The agency also called attention to heavy snow in the neighboring prefectures of Tokyo and areas on the Pacific coast, which usually observe less snow than the Sea of Japan side.
