Quiet Tokyo~even on usually busy JR train~
Many people in Tokyo have gone back home for the holiday season, so many shops will be closed or operated on unusual schedule. Lots of people go back to their family home and spend holiday season as a family. For the temples and shrines they will be very crowded because it is common to do Hatsumoude (the first visit of the year to the temple or shrines) during the New Year’s Holiday. Planning sightseeing this time can be very tricky, so I made a list of New Year’s Holiday schedule of major places. I hope it will help you in someway. Also I add some special event info during this time of year at those places too, so have fun planning!! New Year’s Holiday is by far the most important holiday of Japan. Let's enjoy Yoga!
