Snowman in Ginza
Last Sunday we went to Ginza, and found this large snowman on a sidewalk! His name was くっちゃん (kucchan) according to his hat, and he was made of iced snow blocks.
Snow being a rare sight in Tokyo (especially at this time of the year!), passersby couldn't resist walking up and touching the snow blocks surrounding the space (I couldn't either!), and kids were playing with the snowman. There was kakigōri ("chipped ice") being sold at a stand nearby.
Just walking even a few meters away from the snowman felt refreshing.

I was always too lazy to make arms on my snowmen. :)
