11月8日(jyuichigatsu yoka): November 8

Today is ritto(立冬), one of nijyushisekki (二十四節季), the 24 solar terms. Last one was soko (霜降) on October 24 and the next one is shosetsu ( 小雪) on November 24. Ritto literally means stand winter, it is the first day of winter. Actually it was rather cold.
We went to the Tokyo Rinkai Disaster Prevention Park. Last time we just tried the Tokyo Earthquake 72h Tour and a movie. But this time we could listen to the lecture about the facilities and entered the Headquarter office and operation room and so on. It was a good experience.
