New year, new news from Japan with our latest Japan Web Magazine newsletter. January and February are the coldest months in Japan, but also one of the times with the fewest tourists and therefore perfect for those who want to visit without crowds.
In this January’s edition, we have made a compilation of articles with the best things to do in Japan at this time of the year. From beautiful snow festivals to delicious strawberry dessert buffets, or enjoy unique cultural activities such as the Setsubun celebration.
Our travel tips section features useful transportation guides, including the Shinkansen bullet train, and information on Japan's currency.
And in this time of snow, we could not focus on any other place but Hokkaido, the favorite area for ski lovers and the best winter destination in Japan. Hokkaido offers not only fabulous ski resorts like Niseko, but also incredible onsen where you can take a hot bath and the best winter festivals.
