The ultimate guide to Japan travel
Kick off the new year with fire festivals, lantern festivals, and even festivals featuring ogres!
These natural wonders come to life when the mercury drops — think "snow monsters," frozen waterfalls, steamy hot springs, and ice caves!
Already neon-bright Osaka will shine a little brighter during the holiday season!
Get all the festive feels at these Kyoto winter illumination events!
Winter in Japan is more than just the Sapporo Snow Festival. See how the season gets it so right with these stunning festivals.
It's best to plan early, as accommodation and travel options book up quickly!
Attend traditional festivals, run a marathon & enjoy the illuminations before ringing in the New Year!
Up north in Hokkaido, the cities of Asahikawa, Nayoro and Shibetsu await ski and snowboarding enthusiasts in winter, as well as nature lovers and foodies throughout the year.
Tohoku and Hokkaido give a real feel of rural Japan. With untouched scenery and a peaceful atmosphere, you can escape from everyday life and experience the real traditions of Japan!
There's just so much to see outside of the city!
Hokkaidō's principal airport, and the entry point for many a ski and snowboard holiday.
