We finally got to visit Japan in Winter. Given that our school breaks never coincide with the time when the beautiful Sakura flowers or the Cherry blossoms put on a show, we decided to plan a trip during our December holidays and see some of the wintry landscape.\u00a0 The fear of navigating a country without knowing the language had kept us from planning a trip to this beautiful place full of Torii gates, temples, shrines and rich in culture.\u00a0 <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When you mention Japan, most people think of the cosmopolitan city of Tokyo but Japan is also a country with a lot of natural resources, from mountain ranges to seashore, valleys and natural hot spring there is plenty to explore. Our Two week Japan Itinerary does cover everything, but it does include all the highlights and the best sites the country has to offer. The scenery here reflects beautifully the passing of the seasons\u2014 cherry blossoms in spring, the vibrant green of new leaves in summer, colorful autumn foliage and snowscapes in winter<\/strong>.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While most people visit during Spring or Fall, Japan in Winter <\/strong>turned out quite nice, fewer crowds, more illumination & lights and a little bit of snow!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
