Explore Tohoku in Winter With 5 Budget-Friendly Travel Passes (Local Recommended!)
During winter, the snow-covered Tohoku region offers a range of activities like skiing, picturesque hot springs surrounded by snowy landscapes, and traditional snow festivals with historical charm. Tohoku is well connected with efficient Shinkansen connections between Tokyo and its prefectures, and convenient access from Narita and Haneda airports, making it an ideal destination for winter travel in Japan. However, as the region is fairly large, it is recommended to use a travel pass for longer trips. Our author, who proudly calls himself "The Writer Who Loves Tohoku the Most in Japan," has lived in Tohoku and will recommend travel passes that allow you to explore the region safely and affordably.
