Hi,

we want to go to tokyo, hakone, and kyoto for honeymoon. Arrive Dec 25 in Tokyo, and Leaving Jan 1st.

are onsens still operating in the winter time? I just learned that around new year's, most attractions are closed. what about shopping malls? what else can we do when they're closed?

what about transportations (bullet trains, subway, etc). I hope they're not closed down...

thanks...

Yes, especially in winter. It is the best time for onsen!

what about shopping malls?

Some are closed on January 1. Some are open.

Transportation operates normally.

Please do not forget that most onsen are gender separated. So you cannot bath together as a couple. This is only possible in a so called family bath kazukuburo but not at each onsen.

Honeymooners,

If you would rather bathe together (wearing swimsuits), check out the Yunessun onsen resort in Hakone. It's great in midwinter.
