There is a risk of heavy snow along mountains and in mountain areas. Although there is a possibility that it will snow and accumulate in areas near mountains, even on flatlands, there is a high possibility that it will rain in Tokyo’s 23 wards, including central Tokyo.

Please be careful of traffic obstructions and frozen roads due to snowfall. Also, be careful of collapsed greenhouses, snow accretion on overhead wires, power lines, trees, and avalanches.
Points to note when driving on snowy roads
When driving on snowy roads, please install snow tires and drive more slowly and carefully than usual to avoid sudden starts or stops. Allow at least double the distance between cars than usual. Road surfaces are prone to freezing at tunnel entrances and exits, and on bridges, so be especially careful. Check information on road closures and traffic jams before heading out.
Please do not drive two-wheeled vehicles (motorcycles or bicycles) as there is a high risk of them falling over. If you use public transportation, you can expect it to take longer than usual and be crowded due to reduced traffic and slower speeds. Please check service information and detour routes before taking action.
If you take action before the peak of heavy snow has passed, you could be seriously injured or have trouble returning home. Please proceed with caution.
