It snowed January 14 which is a national holiday for those coming of age. I often go to shrines and temples to take pics of kimono-clad girls but there was hardly any to be seen today due to the heavy amount of snow by Tokyo standards.
I went to Zojo-ji Temple in Hamamatsucho just evening was falling. I arrived as they were ringing the evening bell and doing their evening service. It was quite an enchanting and eerie experience to be almost alone in such a populous city with Buddhist monks chanting in the background as the snow fell from the empty skies.

Really beautiful
You got some brilliant footage in this clip. Wish I had gone there on that day myself.
Excellent as always!
Dave..i like the one flake that lands on the lense while shooting the tower mid-way…
great video.
Japanese Buddhist monks are not true Buddhist monks. They eat meat, marry, have children, drink and some even gamble…..
These all completely go against core Buddhist beliefs that real monks must abide to.
