Christmas Markets in Japan 2026
15 German-style Christmas markets across Japan, by region — dates, opening hours, entry fees and access.
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.

Christmas markets in Japan: common questions
- What does this page cover?
- 15 Christmas markets across Japan, grouped by region — Kanto, Kansai, Kyushu, Hokkaido, Tohoku, Chugoku and Tokai. Each entry carries its dates or typical viewing window, venue and access, re-checked against the official source for that event.
- When is the season for Christmas markets in Japan?
- Across the 15 listed here, the earliest starts around Nov 1 and the latest around Dec 18, with the last of them running until about Dec 28. Japan is long from north to south, so the same season arrives weeks apart in Hokkaido and Kyushu.
