Might be good time to visit Hokkaido and Sapporo? Sapporo snow festival is in early feb.
I usually stay in Japan for 3-6 months a year as my wife is Japanese. I'm here now from 9/12 to 11/12 for 2 months. We just attended 2 days of the Olympic championships, the 15th and last night. Now that was pretty cool, even in the rain.

There are a lot of great places outside of Hokkaido to visit in winter. The winter in more than half of the country is very mild. We went to the snow festival last year for 1.5 weeks. There are lots of ice and snow carvings to see, but be ready for elbow to elbow viewing the whole time, everyday. It's very packed. I'm sure it will be even worse next year.

I recommend Hakodate, it's definitely underrated with some cool European influence. The seafood there is some of the best in Japan.

February is the coldest month of the year in Japan. Perfect for Hokkaido snow festival, but also perfect to ski/snowboard and there's plenty of fast trains to ski slopes from Tokyo too. And you won't find crazy lines like you do in CO/UT/Tahoe and the snow is some of the best in the world. We've lived in Denver and now south of Tokyo. It's better here by a long shot. Bring thin layers to stay warm. Base layer will be your best friend if you're not used to the cold. As others suggested, bring a small wash cloth for bathrooms.

For those wanting to buy luggage here, don't. It's stupid expensive and the lowest quality. If you must, bring nested luggage from the US, but remember checked bag fees are expensive these days.


The whole country is very underrated and affordable once you get outside the tourist traps of Tokyo/Osaka/Kyoto. We only go up to Tokyo a few times a year; just way too many people everywhere now and everything has crept up in price. It's curry/ramen/oden weather so definitely eat as much as possible.

We are traveling to Japan for the first time in December. Everyone says to pack light and buy what you need there. In fact, a lot of people suggest buying luggage there. I have seen some tips from people to buy a $5-6 Ikea bag there, pack it full of souvenirs and goods and then just have it plastic wrapped at the airport and checked as luggage. Just some food for thought but you could always not check anything in on the way to and then pay for one or two checked luggages for the return trip if you need. We are flying ANA which included one checked bag. I think its awful that they have started taking away checked bags on intl flights ☹️
I use a 28 inch check in which I bought from Japan, got it from ginza life in Asakusa for $40 USD 2 years ago. Has survived a couple intl trips loaded up to 45-49 lbs.

Now costs about $50, 7k yen, I bought a 2nd one from Ginza life in Osaka on April trip this year that is basically the same but dual wheels now.

For the price, it's worth it. Doesn't expand is the only downside.

ANA charges about $100 for 2nd checked bag so not ideal if you are planning to check in 2 luggage on your return trip, I found out on my ANA return flight this year.


Every other shop will be more expensive for luggage so go to Ginza Life for lowest price.

I heard people recommending Ginza Karen as well. I have a feeling we are going to be checking in at least 1-2 bags full of souvenirs on the trip back

Depends where. And how budgeted you're being on the actual trip. I got a pretty damn good wheeled suitcase in a cheap osaka street market for $60. I got it at the very end of my trip as my intent was to backpack out a <15lbs trail bag and didn't want to spend on hotel rooms. So I filled it up with thifty shopping that very last weekend. Having suitcases is incompatible with capsule hotels.

Ahh yes, Ginza Karen is basically the same as Ginza Life. Prices are identical.
Not sure if they just wanted to have diff names as there is another location actually in Ginza but not as easy to reach as the one in Asakusa.

When my luggage broke in Japan, I managed to find a nicer one than what I have for 6000 yen. I saw several shops discounting them at like 60-80% off. Got lucky there.

Are you sure? I've seen ppl post getting luggage for $40-60 if not less - not super nice ones but decent enough. MCoin's at Shinsaibashi in Osaka for instance
bought my large check in bag on amazon. jp and had it delivered to my stay. If i remember it was under 30$

I bought two suitcases, both 21-inch (40L), from Amazon Japan over the past couple of years. They were both under $50 and are quite well-built. I still use them regularly.

Not getting the price. 2/1-2/10 $857 is the lowest on both Expedia and AA website.

We just got back from a 10 city trip to Japan and did this. It was a hassle finding any suitcases for less than $75. I wish I had brought mine and just packed light and filled with souvenirs. I did see a cool one at Don Q that had roller skate wheels. That's my only regret, that I didn't get that one.
My GF and I just got back our first trip to Japan on Saturday. We brought an empty duffel bag with us and a couple of carry-ons. On the flight back, we had put our clothes in the duffel bag and filled the carry-ons with the souvenirs. We had some fragile souvenirs, so wanted to keep those close.
