January
Weather – January is one of the colder months to visit Japan. So, wrap up warm. With dry, crisp days and often sunshine and clear days, it is a great month to visit Japan. Ideal for heading to the hot springs! Or embrace the weather and go skiing!
Ski Japan
Skiing in Japan is considered some of the best in the world. In the north – Hokkaido, Nagano or Niigata are renowned for the quality powder and off-piste skiing. If you’re heading out from Tokyo, try the local ski resorts in the Northern Japan Alps and Myoko mountain range.
Oshogatsu
Oshogatsu is the Japanese New Year and the perfect time to visit the many shrines and temples. A spiritual time in the calendar, the atmosphere, food stalls and many events make for a wonderful winters experience, often set to the magical backdrop of snow covered ground.
