Hi,

I have been to Tokyo in early January each year from 2016-2019 ( missed this year as I went in late Nov 2020) and loved it. The days were generaly clear and sunny ( in stays of a week we had 1 day of rain). The temples are very busy with New Year and coming of age day but it is an experience to visit them . There are still a number of winter illuminations around ( and Disney has its new year celebration shows-loved the watershow at Tokyo Disneysea). From many observation towers in Tokyo you have a good chance of seeing Mt Fuji ( better than other times of the year). It was generally cool but occasionally the wind can pick up and it will feel closer ot freezing . In my 4 visits to Tokyo in early Jan there was no snow but one year there was a snowfall in Tokyo the week after I got back to the UK.. It was so nice to be outdoors in the sunshine that the mueum closures ( first few days of Jan) did not bother me.

Regards

TBS
