Planning a trip to Japan in 2026? Welcome to my Japan Winter Guide, where I share essential things to know before traveling to Japan during the winter season. In this video, I explain what winter truly feels like in major cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, Kyoto, and Sapporo, as well as in popular snowy destinations like Niseko and Hakuba, and the hot spring town of Kusatsu. You’ll learn how to prepare before entry, what to pack for Japan’s cold climate, and how to choose the right hotel or decide where to stay based on your itinerary. I also share practical travel tips for navigating icy roads, handling snow-related train, bus and Shinkansen delays for your trip. In addition, I introduce some must-try winter foods in Japan, from hearty regional dishes to seasonal specialties that are perfect for cold weather. Whether you’re planning to explore Tokyo and Osaka, enjoy Kyoto’s winter atmosphere, visit Sapporo and its famous snow festivals, ski in Niseko or Hakuba, or relax in the hot springs of Kusatsu, this Winter Travel in Japan guide will help you plan a smooth, safe, and memorable journey.
