As our Video Editor Sam will attest to (among countless others), January is traditionally the month to be in Japan. But while many will pass through places like Niseko on their hunt for the finest fluffy powder around, not quite so high a number are fortunate enough to take a month and travel a thousand kilometres North to South, sampling Japanuary in its fullest.
