Winters around Tokyo are usually sunny, no snow, blue skies, dry air, and around 10 degrees during the day. The photo above was taken near Hakone, one of the famous tourist spots near Tokyo.
Probably quite a few people doesn’t think it’s a typical image of winter but it is for me. A Christmas market held at Yokohama at a daytime may be also looked a bit strange under the blue sky. But at night, it is no different from European markets. It snows once or twice a year in Tokyo. Temperature goes down to 0 – 2 degree, sometimes below 0 degree and the next day, you will see a blue sky. Obviously it would be good for children. When I lived in France, autumn to winter brought cold and wet air. It was not so bad for me. At least, it was good for my throat.

I must say that’s my kind of winter! Beautiful blue skies and a hot cuppa!
good to know from you, a lot of different winter and that makes the world interesting, I guess.
gorgeous view, and typical is such location thing.
I love to go there, a plenty of sunshine, a plenty of oranges, and local foods like KAMABOKO, fish minced and steamed.
Tanu, those are the kinds of winter I like. Your photos are wonderful and so invitiing. Ten degrees sounds like good temperature for winter time, especially with sunny skies.
I agree with you. It’s a very nice place to spend a winter day.
I wouldn’t mind that kind of Winter, Tanu!
Sometimes colder, sometimes warmer, that’s our real lives, aren’t them.
Indeed.
I’m glad to see some photos of warmer winter seasons. Yours are the kind of winter temperatures I like. Thanks for sharing your winter with us.
Your welcome. It is always interesting to see the world.
