Winter in Tokyo is from December to early March.

What to expect in winter: As expected, Tokyo can get chilly during the winter. The weather is, however, generally pleasantly dry and sunny. Snow does fall from time to time but often turns quickly to slush as the temperatures don’t tend to hover long below freezing. And although you’ll find fewer tourists to bump into, there’s little respite from Tokyo’s high accommodation prices, especially around the holidays.

What to wear in winter: With the cooler temperatures, you’ll need to carry slightly heavier outerwear than in the fall. A warm, insulated jacket is great for when the temperatures dip into the single digits. Packing some warm, waterproof, and insulated winter boots is a good idea to combat the possibility of snow and slush. Most of the time, however, a pair of waterproof hiking shoes or waterproof walking shoes will be adequate.
