First Christmas in Japan

2017 was our first time travelling to Japan together so we thought let's spend our time exploring different part of the cities until New Year's.

I enjoyed the Christmas here, was expecting fireworks and a busy New Year's. However, I then realized New Year in Japan is quiet as people would spend their time at home with families or visit the temple/ shrine.

I was going through list of events for Christmas. Here we go:

1. Roppongi Hills Christmas Market (Tokyo): German style Christmas market
2. Hikari Renassance (Osaka): Illuminated 3D music & light show

ROPPONGI HILLS CHRISTMAS MARKET

📍 Oyane Plaza

Roppongi Hills Christmas Market is one of the most popular winter events in Tokyo featuring German theme. German beer, Hot wine, Bratwurst, Wiener are some of the popular food & drinks you will find here. The Illuminating streets with LED lights hanging on all the trees gets you into the Christmas spirit!

After checking out the Christmas Market, we continued to our cocktail degustation at Gen Yamamoto
