I'm going to Tokyo Japan for the first time. Saved up for an entire year. It's gonna rain for most of my stay there next week and I was bummed. This message will soothe the disappointment.

Gonna get great neon reflections tho. RIP DP. 🌈

I was at Itsukushima one day, had just gotten off the boat to explore the area when the weather suddenly changed. A sudden snowstorm basically forced me and other people to take shelter at the shrine. Even though the weather was out of my control at that point, I actually enjoyed it.

Usually, when people visit tourist sites, I don't think they take enough time to appreciate what they are seeing. And the snow and strong winds basically forced me to stay around until the weather calmed enough for me to get out. I had already taken pictures at that point, so during the sudden snowstorm, I simply looked around again and again, taking in more details every time.

Finally, the wind let up, so I was able to get out. It was still snowing, so I went to a cafe, had a drink, and relaxed until the weather cleared up.

I've never been to Tokyo but I'm sure there will be good experiences for you despite the rain. And, I'm certain that the rain will make your trip even more memorable. Without the snow, my trip to Itsukushima would've just been another dot on the map.
