Christmas Markets in Japan 2026
15 German-style Christmas markets across Japan, by region — dates, opening hours, entry fees and access.
Last updated: Tue, November 10, 2026
Japan's Christmas markets follow the German model — wooden huts, mulled wine (Glühwein) in a yearly souvenir mug, sausages and a big lit tree — set up in a park or a building plaza from November. Most close on the evening of December 25, and a few charge an entry fee on busy days, so check each page before you go. Where a market's 2026 dates have not been announced yet, the card shows its usual window; each page is updated once the organizer publishes the new dates.

- When is the season for Christmas markets in Japan?
