Be Winter-Ready: Enjoying Kanagawa in the Cold Season!
In mountain regions such as Hakone and Tanzawa, snowfall and icy roads can occur during the winter season.
If you plan to travel by car, please keep the following points in mind to ensure a safe and enjoyable trip:
-
Use winter tires or carry snow chains when driving in snowy or icy conditions.
-
Avoid unnecessary driving on heavy snow days whenever possible.
-
During heavy snowfall, preventive road closures may be implemented on expressways and national roads to avoid large-scale traffic congestion. Please check the latest weather and road conditions before you travel.
-
If electronic road signs display “Snow chains required,” please stop at a safe location and install chains as early as possible.
A little preparation goes a long way in making your winter trip to Kanagawa safe and comfortable.
Thank you for your cooperation, and enjoy your journey!
