Deep winter · January and February

Kyoto in snow

Japan

Kyoto's quietest months are also its most beautiful. Snow settles on the moss gardens, the bamboo groves empty out, and the kaiseki menus turn to crab, hotpot and the year's best sake.

What winter gives you here

  • ·Fushimi Inari before dawn, the torii gates dusted white and entirely yours
  • ·A private kaiseki dinner at the height of winter crab season
  • ·An onsen afternoon in Kurama, snow falling into an open-air bath
  • ·Arashiyama's bamboo grove in the hour after fresh snow
