Snowfall in Ginza

Snowfall in Tokyo is rare and it usually does not happen more than once a year. The city grinds to a halt even with a few centimeters of accumulated snow. The rare event makes for a unique view of the city's popular tourist spots and I took the chance to shoot at Asakusa and Tokyo Station. This photo story captures the relatively deserted popular shopping district of Ginza on a record snowfall day in February 2014.
