The first ever Christmas Market in Ariake Garden event brings the atmosphere of an authentic German Christmas market to Tokyo for three days in December. There will be plenty of food trucks offering festive-themed food and drinks, Christmas decor and other items for sale, and even games for children to enjoy.
If you are planning to attend, please note that on Friday the 15th the event hours are from 5pm until 9pm, but on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th this extends to 12pm until 9pm.
There is no admission fee to attend the market, but do bring yen if you plan on making purchases from the vendors.
Getting there
