Tokyo Christmas Market 2023

11:00am – 10:00pm
¥1,000 – ¥1,500

One of the most Christmassy Christmas markets out there, this event is the real deal. Sponsored by the German Embassy and the German Tourism Association, you can expect plenty of delicious food and German-themed gift ideas, as well as some warming wines. There will be live music to fill you with Christmas spirit as you browse and all the bright lights and Christmas trees you could hope for.

Tickets

There will be some tickets available on the day, but this is a popular event, so advanced reservations are recommended. Tickets are ¥1,000 on weekdays and ¥1,500 on weekends — you will also get a free mug that you can use when purchasing hot drinks! Children cost ¥500 and under fives get in for free. Tickets will go online November 21.

Resident discount

If you live in Japan and have been vaccinated three times (or have a negative PCR), you can get a 20% discount from the ticket price. Buy those tickets here.

The first day will begin at 4 p.m. instead of the usual 11 a.m.
