Visiting Tokyo in Winter: Your Complete Guide (2025-2026)

Last Updated on November 30, 2025 by Vlad

Winter in Tokyo doesn’t look like what most people picture when they think “Japan in winter”. There are no massive snowdrifts, you won’t need ski gear, and honestly, some days feel downright pleasant. But is visiting Tokyo in winter worth it, or should you save your trip for cherry blossom season?

After visiting Tokyo in winter and planning more winter trips, I reckon winter is one of the most underrated times to visit. The crowds thin out (except New Year), hotels are cheaper, the skies are brilliantly clear, and you can actually enjoy popular spots without being shoulder-to-shoulder with tour groups. Plus, there’s something special about slurping ramen in a tiny shop while steam fogs up the windows and it’s freezing outside.

That said, winter in Tokyo isn’t perfect. The days are short, some outdoor attractions lose their appeal, and if you hit a cold snap in late January, you’ll understand why Japanese homes have heated toilet seats.

Is Tokyo Worth Visiting in Winter?

Short answer: Yes, especially if you hate crowds and don’t mind the cold.

Longer answer: Tokyo in winter is brilliant for first-timers who want to see the major sights without the chaos, families who need a bit more personal space, and anyone who loves food (winter is hot pot season, mate).

It’s less ideal if you’re chasing outdoor activities, want long sunny days for photography, or expect a winter wonderland with snow everywhere.

How Cold Does Tokyo Get in Winter?

Let’s cut through the vague descriptions and give you actual numbers.

December: 7-12°C (45-54°F) during the day, 2-7°C (36-45°F) at night January: 5-10°C (41-50°F) during the day, 0-5°C (32-41°F) at night (coldest month) February: 6-11°C (43-52°F) during the day, 1-6°C (34-43°F) at night

For my fellow Aussies, think Melbourne in winter but a touch colder. For Americans and Canadians reading this, Tokyo winter is mild compared to what you’re used to – nothing like New York or Toronto winters.

If you’re trying to figure out the best time overall to visit Japan, my complete guide to the best time to visit Japan breaks down every season in detail.

What does this actually feel like?

Tokyo’s cold is dry, not humid. You won’t get that damp, bone-chilling cold that London or Melbourne delivers. However, Japanese buildings aren’t that well insulated (more on this nightmare later), so inside can feel as cold as outside.

The bigger shock is going from the freezing outdoors to absolutely roasting indoors. Trains, shops, and restaurants can crank their heating to tropical levels. I’ve seen people strip down to t-shirts on the train in January, only to freeze again five minutes later at the station. Layers are your best mate.

Does it snow in Tokyo?

Occasionally, but don’t count on it. Tokyo might get one or two light snowfalls per winter, usually in January or February. When it does snow, it’s magical for about four hours, then it turns into grey slush and causes transport chaos because the city isn’t equipped for it.

If you want guaranteed snow, head to the mountains or up to Hokkaido. Tokyo is not your snow destination.

What to Pack for Tokyo in Winter

Forget what the official tourism websites tell you about “smart casual winter attire”. Here’s what actually works:

Essential layers:

• Heat tech or thermal base layers (buy these at Uniqlo when you arrive – they’re cheaper and better than what you’ll find back home)
• Medium-weight jumper or fleece
• Proper winter coat (down jacket or wool coat)
• Scarf, gloves, and beanie for January/February
• Waterproof, comfortable walking shoes that won’t slip on icy footpaths

What NOT to bring:

• Heavy snow boots (overkill unless you’re heading to the mountains)
• Massive ski jacket (you’ll roast on trains)
• Too many jumpers (you can buy cheap, quality stuff at Uniqlo or GU)

For more detailed packing advice, check out our complete guide to what to pack for Japan.

The layering trick:

Tokyo winter is all about layers you can peel off. You’ll be freezing at the train platform, possibly sweating on the train, comfortable walking outside, then roasting again in a restaurant. I usually wear:

• Heat tech long-sleeve shirt
• Light jumper
• Down jacket I can stuff in my bag

Family tip: Bring a small backpack to stash shed layers. You’ll be carrying jackets, scarves, and maybe even gloves all day as you move between heated and non-heated spaces.

Best Things About Tokyo in Winter

1. Fewer Crowds (Except New Year)

Tokyo in winter sees roughly 40% fewer tourists than spring or autumn. This means:

• You can actually see the Shibuya Crossing without being trampled
• Temple visits feel peaceful rather than like a theme park queue
• Restaurants have tables available
• You might even get a seat on the train during the day

Exception: Avoid late December to early January if you hate crowds. New Year in Tokyo is absolutely packed with domestic tourists, and many shops/restaurants close for the holidays.

2. Crystal Clear Skies

Winter delivers Tokyo’s clearest weather. The humidity drops, rain is rare, and you get these stunning deep blue skies perfect for photography.

Mount Fuji is visible from Tokyo observation decks way more often in winter than any other season. I’ve had better Fuji views from Shibuya Sky in January than I’ve ever had in spring.

3. Winter Illuminations

From mid-November through February, Tokyo goes mental with light displays. Every major shopping district, park, and neighbourhood decorates with millions of LED lights.

Best illuminations:

• Roppongi Hills: Massive displays around Tokyo Tower views
• Shibuya Blue Cave: Forest of blue lights (though it’s gotten touristy)
• Marunouchi: Elegant tree lighting along the streets
• Tokyo Midtown: Modern displays with interactive elements
• Meguro River: Romantic pathway lights (less crowded than others)

Most illuminations are free and run from around 5pm to 11pm. They’re brilliant for families because kids love them, they’re free, and you can duck out whenever you need to.

I’m a sucker for these light displays – there’s something magical about walking through millions of twinkling LEDs while sipping hot coffee from a vending machine on a cold night.

Honest take: Some illuminations are genuinely beautiful. Others feel like someone stuck fairy lights on every available surface and called it art. The Roppongi and Marunouchi displays are worth it; some of the smaller ones you can skip.

4. Hot Pot Season

Winter is when Japanese comfort food peaks. Every restaurant has hot pot options, convenience stores sell steaming oden, and ramen shops are packed with locals escaping the cold.

Must-try winter foods:

• Nabe (hot pot): Shared pot of simmering broth with vegetables, meat, and tofu. Chanko nabe in Ryogoku is brilliant.
• Oden: Fish cakes, eggs, and vegetables stewed in dashi. Available hot at every 7-Eleven and Family Mart.
• Ramen: Hits different in winter. Rich, warming broths feel like a hug from inside.
• Nikuman: Steamed meat buns from convenience stores. Cheap, hot, perfect.
• Hot sake: Nothing beats warm sake on a freezing Tokyo evening. Pair it with yakitori at a cosy izakaya.

I’ve stood outside a Family Mart eating oden from a plastic container while my breath made fog clouds, and it was genuinely one of my favourite Tokyo food experiences.

5. Better Hotel Prices

Tokyo hotels drop their prices significantly in winter (except around New Year). You can often snag 4-star hotels for 3-star prices, or get upgrades more easily.

I’ve paid 30-40% less for the same hotel in February versus April. That’s not pocket change when you’re booking for a family.

6. Winter Sales

Japanese department stores run massive winter sales (福袋 – fukubukuro or “lucky bags”) in January. You can score serious deals on clothing, electronics, and souvenirs.

If you’re into shopping, early January is your time. Just brace yourself for the crowds – locals go mad for these sales.

Worst Things About Tokyo in Winter

Let’s be real about the downsides.

1. Short Days

The sun sets around 4:30-5pm in December and January. If you’re a family travelling with young kids who crash early, you’ll lose a chunk of your day.

This also means:

• Outdoor attractions like parks lose their appeal by mid-afternoon
• Evening activities start way earlier than you might expect
• You’ll be doing a lot of your sightseeing in the dark

2. Indoor Heating Can be Ridiculous

Japanese buildings have two temperature settings: Antarctic and Sahara. Frequently there’s no middle ground.

You’ll be freezing in your hotel room in the morning (heating turns off overnight), then roasting on the train, then comfortable walking outside, then sweating in a restaurant. It’s exhausting, and you’ll be constantly taking layers on and off.

Also, many traditional buildings and some budget hotels have really shocking insulation.

3. Some Attractions Close or Reduce Hours

Gardens look a bit sad in winter, some outdoor attractions close for the season, and tourist spots often have reduced hours.

What’s closed or less appealing:

• Many gardens (though a few have winter illuminations)
• Some temples reduce visiting hours
• Outdoor onsen can be too cold if it’s windy
• Beach areas are completely dead

If you’re interested in visiting Tokyo during other seasons, check out our guides on cherry blossom season or autumn foliage.

4. Dry Air Wreaks Havoc on Your Skin

Tokyo’s winter humidity drops to 30-40%, which is really dry. Your skin, lips, and sinuses will hate you.

Bring:

• Good moisturiser
• Lip balm (you’ll reapply constantly)
• Nasal spray if you’re prone to nosebleeds
• Eye drops if you wear contacts

Japanese hotel rooms often have a humidifier, and if they don’t, you should ask the reception for one.

5. Random Cold Snaps

While Tokyo winter is generally manageable, occasionally a Siberian front sweeps through and drops temperatures to -2°C with brutal wind chill. When this happens, sightseeing becomes properly miserable for Aussies (Kiwis, Poms, Canucks and Yankees tend to tolerate this better).

I’ve experienced one of these cold snaps, and my mother and father-in-law were complaining. I ended up spending more time at home than planned.

Month-by-Month: Winter in Tokyo

December in Tokyo

Temperature: 7-12°C (45-54°F) days, 2-7°C (36-45°F) nights Vibe: Festive but busy towards the end

December starts mild but gets progressively colder. Early December still feels like autumn, but by Christmas, you’ll definitely need your winter coat.

What’s on:

• Christmas illuminations everywhere (Japan does Christmas decorations better than actual Christmas)
• Winter sales start mid-month
• New Year preparations begin (you’ll see decorations going up)

Avoid: December 28-31 if you want shops and restaurants open. Many businesses close for New Year preparations, and the ones that stay open are absolutely packed.

Best for: Christmas markets, illuminations, and early winter sales without the full winter chill.

January in Tokyo

Temperature: 5-10°C (41-50°F) days, 0-5°C (32-41°F) nights Vibe: Cold, quiet, authentic

January is peak winter – coldest temperatures, fewest tourists (except first week), and most “real Tokyo” experience you’ll get.

What’s on:

• Hatsumode (first shrine visit of the new year) – massive at Meiji Shrine
• Fukubukuro sales (January 1-3)
• Setsubun bean-throwing festival (early February, but preparations start late January)

Avoid: January 1-3 if you hate crowds. Hatsumode draws millions of people to major shrines, and many shops are still closed.

Best for: Experiencing authentic Japanese New Year traditions, scoring shopping deals, and having major tourist spots nearly to yourself (after January 3).

February in Tokyo

Temperature: 6-11°C (43-52°F) days, 1-6°C (34-43°F) nights Vibe: Still cold but hinting at spring

February starts similar to January but gradually warms. By late February, you might catch early plum blossoms at certain shrines and gardens.

What’s on:

• Setsubun bean-throwing festival (February 3)
• Early plum blossoms at Yushima Tenjin Shrine and Hanegi Park
• Valentine’s Day (Japan does it backwards – women give chocolate to men)

Avoid: Nothing specific – February is fairly quiet for tourists and locals.

Best for: Catching the tail end of winter sales, seeing early blossoms, and still enjoying winter food before spring menus take over.

Top Winter Activities in Tokyo

Hot Spring Baths (Onsen & Sento)

Soaking in hot water while cold air hits your face is genuinely one of life’s great pleasures. Tokyo has plenty of options without leaving the city.

Best Tokyo onsen:

• Thermae-Yu: Natural hot springs in Shinjuku (great after shopping)
• Spa LaQua: Rooftop baths near Tokyo Dome (brilliant city views)
• Raku Spa: Budget-friendly option in Kichijoji

Family note: Most onsen don’t allow tattoos and require bathing naked (separate baths for men and women). Kids under a certain age can join either parent, but check specific rules.

My son loves onsen, but getting him to shower properly before entering is always a battle.

Winter Food Crawls

Tokyo’s winter food scene is unmatched. Plan an evening around hopping between spots trying different warming dishes.

Suggested food crawl (Shinjuku area):

1. Start with oden and warm sake at an izakaya
2. Hit a ramen shop for a proper bowl (try Ichiran or Fuunji)
3. Finish at a standing bar for more hot sake and yakitori

There’s something special about hopping between warm restaurants on a freezing night, especially when you’re slightly tipsy on hot sake.

Family-friendly food crawl:

1. Convenience store oden (kids love pointing at what they want)
2. Conveyor belt sushi
3. Taiyaki (fish-shaped cake) for dessert

Observation Decks

Clear winter skies make this the best season for observation decks. Mount Fuji visibility is highest from November through February.

Best decks for winter:

• Shibuya Sky: Modern, great Fuji views, less crowded than Tokyo Skytree
• Tokyo Skytree: Classic but pricey (¥2,100-3,400 per person)
• Tokyo Tower: Mid-range option with decent views
• Metropolitan Government Building: Free observation deck in Shinjuku

Pro tip: Go just before sunset in winter (around 4pm). You’ll catch daylight views, sunset, and night views all in one visit as the sun sets early.

Day Trips

Winter is brilliant for day trips because you’ll have tourist spots nearly to yourself.

Best winter day trips from Tokyo:

• Hakone: Hot springs, art museums, and potential Fuji views (bring warm clothes – it’s colder than Tokyo)
• Nikko: Stunning in winter, especially if you catch snow on the temples
• Kamakura: Fewer crowds, still beautiful temples, easier beach walks
• Kawagoe: Little Edo feels magical in winter with fewer tourists

I reckon Hakone is the winner for winter – combining onsen, museums for cold days, and outdoor activities when weather permits. Plus the views of Lake Ashi with Mount Fuji in the background are incredible in winter.

Winter Events and Festivals

Hatsumode (First Shrine Visit)

The biggest event of Tokyo’s winter happens January 1-3, when millions of Japanese people visit shrines and temples to pray for good fortune in the new year.

Best spots for hatsumode:

• Meiji Shrine: Over 3 million visitors in three days (absolutely bonkers)
• Sensoji Temple: Packed but atmospheric with food stalls
• Yasukuni Shrine: Controversial but less crowded than Meiji
• Hie Shrine: Local favourite with manageable crowds

What to expect:

• Massive queues (1-2 hours at major shrines)
• Food stalls selling amazake (sweet rice wine), takoyaki, and other festival foods
• People dressed in kimono
• Fortune papers (omikuji) for sale
• Genuinely special atmosphere despite the crowds

Family tip: Go in the afternoon of January 2 or 3 instead of New Year’s Day. Still busy but more manageable with kids. Bring snacks and something to entertain them during queue time.

While I haven’t done hatsumode with my family yet, I’ve watched the massive crowds and reckon the afternoon visits on January 2-3 would be the smartest approach for families.

Setsubun (Bean Throwing Festival)

February 3 marks the last day of winter according to the traditional calendar. To celebrate, Japanese people throw roasted soybeans while shouting “Oni wa soto, fuku wa uchi!” (Demons out, luck in!).

Best spots for Setsubun:

• Zojoji Temple: Large celebration with food stalls
• Sensoji Temple: Focuses on good fortune (doesn’t chase demons because their deity is too powerful)
• Kanda Myojin Shrine: Smaller but authentic

You can join in the bean throwing, and it’s brilliant fun for kids. It’s less known to tourists, which makes it feel more authentic than some of the bigger festivals.

Winter Illuminations Season

I’ve covered this earlier, but it’s worth noting these run from mid-November through mid-February, so you’ll catch them throughout winter.

Family-Specific Winter Tips

Travelling with kids in Tokyo winter requires some planning. Here’s what works:

Keeping Kids Warm Without Meltdowns

Kids run hot, then cold, then hot again as you move between spaces. Here’s what works:

• Dress them in layers they can manage themselves (or you’ll be constantly dressing/undressing them)
• Buy cheap fleece jackets at Uniqlo that you don’t mind losing
• Always carry a small bag for shed layers
• Hand warmers from convenience stores are magic (kids love them)
• Accept that they’ll refuse their hat/gloves/scarf 80% of the time

Stroller Considerations

Tokyo in winter is generally fine for strollers (better than summer when you’re fighting crowds). Most attractions have lifts/ramps, and trains have designated spaces.

However:

• Stairs are still everywhere (you’ll be lifting the stroller more than you’d like)
• Restaurants can be cramped
• Some temples and shrines require removing shoes, which is annoying with a stroller

A compact stroller that folds easily is your best bet.

Best Family Activities for Cold Days

When it’s too cold for outdoor sightseeing:

• TeamLab Borderless or Planets: Digital art museums kids absolutely love (book ahead)
• Ghibli Museum: Perfect rainy/cold day activity (book months ahead)
• Tokyo Dome City: Indoor amusement park area
• Aquariums: Shinagawa Aquarium or Sumida Aquarium
• Pokemon Center: Free and kids go mental for it

Restaurant Survival

Many restaurants blast heating in winter, turning them into saunas. This makes cranky, overheated kids even crankier.

• Choose restaurants with good ventilation or partial outdoor seating
• Strip kids down to t-shirts as soon as you sit down
• Avoid cramped izakayas with kids in winter (too hot, too smoky despite laws)
• Convenience stores become your best friend for quick, cheap meals when everyone’s over it

Budget Considerations

Tokyo in winter can be cheaper than peak seasons, but here’s the reality:

Accommodation Savings

Average savings compared to spring:

• Budget hotels: 20-30% cheaper
• Mid-range: 30-40% cheaper
• Luxury: 40-50% cheaper

Exception: New Year period (Dec 29-Jan 3) sees prices spike back up.

Pro tip: February is the absolute cheapest month for Tokyo hotels. If you’re flexible, aim for mid-February for best deals.

Activity Costs

Most attractions maintain the same prices year-round, but winter often has deals:

• Many museums offer winter discount campaigns
• Some observation decks have evening discounts (useful since sunset is early)
• Winter illuminations are mostly free

Food Costs

Winter food is generally comparable to other seasons, though hot pots at restaurants can be pricier than summer options.

Budget wins:

• Convenience store oden is cheap and filling (¥100-150 per item)
• Ramen shops maintain consistent prices
• Vending machine hot drinks (¥100-130) replace expensive cafe visits

Sample Daily Budget (Winter)

Budget traveller:

• Accommodation: ¥5,000-8,000 (hostel or budget hotel)
• Food: ¥3,000-4,000 (mix of convenience stores, cheap restaurants, one nice meal)
• Transport: ¥1,000-1,500 (day pass or IC card)
• Attractions: ¥1,000-2,000
• Total: ¥10,000-15,500 (roughly $90-140 AUD)

Mid-range traveler:

• Accommodation: ¥12,000-20,000 (decent hotel)
• Food: ¥6,000-8,000 (restaurants, cafes, some convenience store meals)
• Transport: ¥1,500-2,000
• Attractions: ¥2,000-4,000
• Total: ¥21,500-34,000 (roughly $195-310 AUD)

Family of three (mid-range):

• Accommodation: ¥18,000-30,000 (family room)
• Food: ¥10,000-15,000 (kids eat cheaper but need more frequent feeding)
• Transport: ¥2,500-4,000 (kids often ride free)
• Attractions: ¥5,000-8,000 (family discounts common)
• Total: ¥35,500-55,000 (roughly $350-550 AUD per day)

These are realistic numbers based on actual travel, not best-case scenarios.

When NOT to Visit Tokyo in Winter

Winter is great, but there are specific times to avoid:

December 28-January 3

Many restaurants, shops, and attractions close for New Year. The ones that stay open are absolutely mobbed. Hotels cost peak-season prices. Transport is packed with domestic travelers.

If you want to experience authentic New Year traditions, it’s worth it. If you just want to sightseeing, seriously pick different dates.

Golden Week Lead-up (Late February)

While not technically a problem time, late February sees some price increases as Japan prepares for the Golden Week rush in late April/early May.

During Major Cold Snaps

You can’t predict these, but if weather forecasts show temperatures dropping below zero with high winds, consider shifting plans to indoor activities. Sightseeing in brutal cold is miserable.

Tokyo in Winter vs Other Seasons

Still deciding if winter is right for your trip? Here’s the honest comparison.

Winter vs Spring

Choose spring if:

• You want cherry blossoms (late March-early April)
• You prefer milder temperatures
• You don’t mind sharing Tokyo with millions of other tourists
• You want longer daylight hours

Choose winter if:

• You hate crowds
• You want better hotel prices
• You love winter food and hot springs
• You want clearer views of Mount Fuji

Honest take: Spring is magical but overcrowded and overpriced. Winter is more authentic but colder and darker.

Winter vs Summer

Choose summer if:

• You’re chasing festivals and fireworks
• You want beach day trips
• You enjoy muggy, sweaty weather (said no one ever)
• You like crowds and chaos

Choose winter if:

• You hate humidity
• You want to explore without sweating through your clothes
• You prefer comfortable walking weather
• You value breathable air

Honest take: Tokyo summer is rough. Hot, humid, crowded, and expensive. Winter wins this matchup easily.

Winter vs Autumn

Choose autumn if:

• You want to see autumn leaves (mid-November-early December)
• You want the most comfortable weather
• You don’t mind moderate crowds and prices

Choose winter if:

• Autumn dates don’t work for your schedule
• You want even fewer crowds
• You want cheaper prices
• You prefer colder weather

Honest take: Autumn is objectively the best weather, but winter offers better value and fewer tourists. Both are excellent choices.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is Tokyo cold in winter?

Yes, but not compared to most northern hemisphere winters. Tokyo winter averages 5-12°C during the day, with January being coldest. It’s manageable with proper layers, but the dry cold and poorly insulated buildings make it feel colder than the actual temperature suggests.

What should I wear in Tokyo in winter?

Layers are essential: thermal base layer, medium jumper, and a winter coat you can remove easily. Add scarf, gloves, and beanie for January/February. Comfortable walking shoes with good grip are important, as footpaths can be slippery during cold snaps.

Does it snow in Tokyo in winter?

Occasionally, but rarely more than once or twice per season. When it does snow (usually in January or February), it’s light and doesn’t settle for long. Tokyo is not a snow destination – head to the mountains or Hokkaido for reliable snow.

Is Tokyo crowded in winter?

No, winter sees roughly 40% fewer tourists than spring or autumn. The major exception is the New Year period (late December to early January), when the city is packed with domestic tourists and many businesses close.

What are the best things to do in Tokyo in winter?

Winter illuminations, hot spring baths, observation deck visits (clear skies = great Mount Fuji views), winter food experiences (hot pot, oden, ramen), and visiting major attractions without the crowds are the highlights.

Is Tokyo expensive in winter?

No, winter is actually one of the cheapest times to visit Tokyo. Hotel prices drop 30-50% compared to spring, and many attractions offer winter discounts. The exception is the New Year period when prices spike.

Can you see Mount Fuji from Tokyo in winter?

Yes, winter offers the best visibility for Mount Fuji from Tokyo observation decks. The clear, dry air means you’ll have way better chances than in spring or summer. Early mornings in December-February are your best bet.

What is hatsumode?

Hatsumode is the Japanese tradition of making the first shrine or temple visit of the new year (January 1-3). Over 3 million people visit Meiji Shrine alone during this period. It’s crowded but culturally significant and worth experiencing.

Are restaurants open during Tokyo winter?

Most restaurants stay open year-round, but many close for several days around New Year (December 29-January 3). Plan ahead for this period, as finding open restaurants can be challenging, especially on January 1-2.

Is winter a good time to visit Tokyo with kids?

Yes, winter can be excellent for families. Fewer crowds mean easier navigation with strollers, better restaurant availability, and less waiting at attractions. The main challenges are managing layers (kids get hot/cold constantly) and shorter daylight hours.

Final Thoughts: Is Winter in Tokyo Worth It?

After multiple winter visits to Tokyo, including trips with my son, I’d say winter is genuinely underrated. You’ll trade some comfort and daylight hours for significantly fewer crowds, better prices, clearer skies, and some of the year’s best food.

Winter Tokyo feels more authentic. You’ll see how locals actually live rather than the tourist-optimised version of the city. You’ll have space to breathe at Senso-ji Temple, you’ll get seats on trains, and you’ll have actual conversations with restaurant staff instead of being rushed through.

The cold is manageable with proper planning. The short days are annoying but workable. The dry air is fixable with moisturiser. These minor inconveniences are massively outweighed by having Tokyo feel less like a theme park and more like a real city.

Bottom line: If you’re flexible with your travel dates, visiting Tokyo in winter (especially late January through February) offers the best balance of good weather, low crowds, and reasonable prices. If you’re stuck with December or early January dates, it’s still worth it – just prepare for New Year chaos or closures.

Pack your layers, buy some hand warmers, embrace the hot pot, and enjoy Tokyo without the masses. You won’t regret it.
