If you're planning to go to Hokkaido during winter, then make sure you have the suitable clothing for the season. Don't take this lightly because the weather in Japan can be very extreme. I've read a lot of people saying that winter in Japan is way colder than winter in Europe (not sure about other countries though).

So in this post, I'll be sharing the suitable clothing and things that can warm you up well in winter. 1. Long johns / heattech This will be your first layer therefore they are super duper important. Without em you're likely to freeze and suffer hahaha! Long johns are like leggings and inner, but the materials used are warm materials such as wool or some other materials that I can't remember. You can buy them from Uniqlo, Winter Time or any other shops that sells winter clothing. They are quite pricey but it's worth the money.
