I've been twice before but in other seasons. Also I live in Colorado, so I think it generally gets a lot colder here than in Tokyo/Osaka.
- Do I need to bring leggings and my best puffer?
- Will Fushimi Inari Taisha still be packed by noon?
- Might places I want to go be closed, or maybe close earlier than posted times?
- Will I freeze walking from a ryokan to an onsen?
- Emperor's birthday is Feb 23, what should I do or not do to avoid major crowds in Tokyo?
- Can plum blossoms be found everywhere? I heard gardens will be sad and yellow
