Tips for dealing with the cold in Tokyo and Hokkaido at the snow festival, and a comparison of how cold it is in winter in Japan!

TIPS FOR THE SAPPORO SNOW FESTIVAL:    • ❄️ Tips for the Sapporo Snow Festival ❄️  

How cold it seems in Japan in the winter depends on the climate where you live. I went to Japan in February and for me, coming from the UK, winter in Tokoy felt mild. There were actually some pretty warm days. As you go north, it starts to get snowy, and Hokkaido's the coldest place I've ever been! We stopped over in Hakodate before going to Sapporo for the Snow Festival. Here are my tips for what to wear, how to survive the cold (where to get kairo, how slippery it is, and trying hot drinks from the vending machines), how to pack light and a few benefits to going to Japan in winter - like beautiful winter illuminations.
