The Tokyo Christmas Market is back for 2025, and this year promises an extraordinary festive experience spread across two distinct venues: Jingu Gaien and Shiba Park. This year’s celebration is set to be the largest ever, showcasing a captivating journey that connects both locations, each offering its own unique charm and opportunities to enjoy the spirit of Christmas.
A Unique Christmas Story Awaits
This year's Christmas tale unfolds as visitors navigate between Jingu Gaien and Shiba Park. Attendees will be treated to a stunning array of activities, including a special stamp rally, which requires guests to travel between the two venues to complete their unique Christmas story. Collectible original mugs will also be available at each location, with this year's designs featuring Strawberry Red for Jingu Gaien and Forest Green for Shiba Park. Only those who purchase advance tickets can earn these exclusive mugs - a delightful keepsake from this year’s event.
Exclusive Mug Designs and Pre-Sale Tickets
The excitement begins with the pre-sale tickets, which are set to launch on October 21 (Tuesday) at 14:00 via KKday, followed by FamilyMart tickets starting on October 25 (Saturday) at 14:00. Visitors are encouraged to collect both unique mugs and truly immerse themselves in the festive atmosphere that each venue has to offer.
Stamp Rally for Unique Experiences
In addition to the mugs, a special 'Overlapping Stamp Rally' will also be available. As you walk between Shiba Park and Jingu Gaien, the stamps you collect will gradually reveal a beautiful design. With three stamps available at each venue, only those who gather all six stamps will unlock access to a one-of-a-kind artwork available only at this event. The anticipation of walking between both sites to complete the final design adds an extra layer of excitement to the holiday experience.
Delicious Treats and Unique Souvenirs
Food and drink will undoubtedly be one of the key attractions at the Tokyo Christmas Market. At Jingu Gaien, visitors can enjoy vibrant hot chocolate reminiscent of Europe's charming streets, while also indulging in delightful German-inspired cuisine. Traditional holiday gifts, adorable packaging teas, and items inspired by the European gnome figures will be available as beloved souvenirs.
At Shiba Park, authentic German specialties will be the highlight, with warm sausages and stollen catering to the chilly season. Guests will also find traditional wooden crafts from the famous German village of Seiffen, including nutcrackers, wooden ornaments, and candle holders, along with limited-edition teddy bears from the renowned Steiff brand.
Workshops and Fun Activities
The market will also host daily workshops featuring snow globe making and aroma candle crafting, allowing guests to engage creatively while celebrating the festive season. Every culinary delight and charming souvenir will make you feel as though you’re wandering through an authentic European Christmas market.
