Citizens of Tokyo have reacted with a mixture of surprise and joy as the city was hit by its first November snow since 1962. While the Japanese capital does experience the occasional dusting of snow, it usually doesn't arrive until much deeper into winter, usually falling in January or February. Another snowfall shot from earlier today. Autumn meets winter. Too bad I couldn't go out from office and play with the snow. . #raraarounddaworld #raraXJapan #tokyo #snow #tokyosnow #traveljapan A video posted by Munirah Rara ムニラ (@munirah_city) on Nov 24, 2016 at 5:13am PST The last time the city experienced snow in November Nikita Khrushkev was leader of the Soviet Union and John F Kennedy was resident in the White House. Meanwhile, Japan's Meteorological Agency have said this is the first time snow has been seen on the ground there in November since records began in 1875. A photo posted by 日本経済新聞社
