Konnichiwa! It was snowing in central Kyoto city today.
The inner part of Kyoto city does not snow often, so this means it is getting really cold...
Hope it doesn't snow when I go home after work...
Anyway, there were festival called Toka Ebisu were held in Ebisu Shrine.
Ebisu, sometime written Yebisu is the God of Fishermen, good luck and working men.
