Something synonymous with Christmas in many parts of the world is the Christmas market tradition – particularly in Europe. Japan has jumped onboard the bandwagon with this, and various cities and towns have their own versions of these much-loved festive events.
The Makuhari Christmas Market is one of them, and it will be held at Aeon Mall Makuhari New City and Toyosuna Park. Christmas market booths will be lined up on the grounds, along with a huge Christmas tree and glittering illuminations adding to the Christmas atmosphere.
It wouldn't be a Christmas market without Christmassy food and drink, and the event has you covered there, too. Mulled wine, cocoa served with churros, German sausages, and beef stew are just some of the tasty items you can expect to find.
Admission to the event is free, but bring yen if you plan on making any purchases.
