This itinerary is designed as a friendly starting point, not a strict schedule. Stop for food, follow interesting streets and leave space for the small discoveries that make Tokyo memorable.

Winter is the quiet half of Japan, shorter queues, glass-clear cold air, and an excuse to spend most of the day warming back up over good food.
This 10-page guide covers Tokyo, Kyoto, and Osaka in the cold months, plus a snow-country detour to Nozawa Onsen and Hakuba if you want to add skiing to the trip. Two ready-made routes are included, a 5-day city route and a 4-day snow route, along with the specific spots we'd actually go back to, how the onsen bath works (including options if you have tattoos), what winter in Japan actually tastes like, and a full packing list so you're not guessing what to bring.
