The second one was more grammatically correct. If you were to say the first one people might have trouble understanding or even worse make fun of you (fluent English speakers are often very rude to foreigners). You could also say "It was a windy day today in Tokyo."

They both mean the same thing and really they are both grammatically correct because I have heard many people use it both ways. :)

Thanks awfully:-)
Now I understand that both are correct but that the second one is a little bit better.
