    Bear in mind that Christmas isn't a massive holiday in Japan. But New Year is apparently huge.

    Photos of New Year in Kyoto.

    Although I stumbled across this:
    For single women in Japan it is really crucial to have someone to spend Christmas eve with. It is also really important for them where they spend Christmas eve and what present they receive. The whole evening must be very special, gorgeous and romantic. Japanese women who have a boy friend tend to show off, so women who don't are not happy to talk about the topic.

    Wahay, get over there. ;)

    It will be very cold and snowy - so it might be worth heading up to some of the ski resorts over the actual christmas period.

    I might be there for a month at the start of next year sometime, my girlfriend has family there. I don't know an awful lot about Japan to be honest, I think the seasons are similar to the UK?
