If you thought your family's schedule was already full for the next few weeks, you haven't seen anything yet! Make room for all of the wonderful winter light shows and markets that are popping up around town in the coming days. 

 

 

The holiday season in Tokyo is synonymous with decorative illuminations and impressive light shows. From Hibiya and Shibuya to Omotesando and Roppongi Hills, they're all over the city and many are on display well into the new year. Bundle the family up and head outside for a lovely, festive and free evening.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Whether you celebrate the holiday, simply enjoy gift giving or are always on the look-out for lovely trinkets, the many Christmas markets of Tokyo will not fail to deliver. Many feature hand-made, artisanal crafts, others donate proceeds to charity and all of them guarantee a fun way to shop.
