Walking in a fuyu no wandārando Most countries in the northern hemisphere close up shop to travellers when the mercury starts to drop. Not Japan. Winter is one of the best times of the year to visit, with smaller crowds and plenty of celebrations (particularly Kobe's glittering Luminarie and the Sapporo Snow Festival). Japanese winters are typically cool, dry, and sunny, and even if the temperature does drop a bit, you're never far from a warm, soothing onsen. This tour combines AJWJ and AJHW on page 61.
