Japan Christmas Holidays

While Christmas isn’t a national holiday in Japan and there are none of the Western religious connotations, many of the best loved traditions still make an appearance alongside some that are unique to Japan, making this a fun, festive time of year to visit. With European-style Christmas markets from Hokkaido to Kyushu, spend your Christmas in Japan shopping for souvenirs and warming up with lashings of hot cider. Don’t miss a trip to Tokyo to enjoy the winter illumination displays and the annual Tokyo Disney Christmas parade and if you're spending your Christmas holidays in Japan with your significant other, make sure to book a table at a romantic restaurant on Christmas Eve – Japan’s equivalent to Valentine’s Day.

"Joyce was fantastic, so responsive and listened to the things we wanted to do so carefully and then found great places. The trip took us to places we would never have gone on our own. The entire trip was so thoughtfully planned by Joyce and the Concierge team was so helpful when we needed them, it could not have been better."
