Kyoto Snowfall Cycling

Snow cycling Kyoto京都雪自転車

Sunday night saw heavy snowfall in western Japan.

Areas along the coast of the Sea of Japan - Shimane, Tottori, Niigata - have seen record-breaking accumulation.

Kyoto City is often cold - ask any midwinter cyclist - in winter. However, accumulation is fairly rare.

For the second time this winter, though, Kyoto saw its rooftops and roads blanketed in a beautiful white.

We threw in the proverbial towel and walked to the train station and stewed in a packed, late (six minutes!) train.

High school students and die-hards, however, were on the roads.

The snow is mostly gone from roads, and we are back in the saddle.
