    Headline: Tokyo Buzzing with Holiday Events, Festivals, and Art Exhibitions
    Dec 17 2025
    Tokyo is buzzing this week, so if you’re wondering what to do between now and the weekend, let’s dive into some of the best things happening around the city.

    First, head to Asakusa for the Hagoita-Ichi Fair at Senso-ji. Japan Travel notes that this long-running market is held around December 17, turning the temple grounds into rows of stalls selling colorful hagoita, the decorative wooden paddles used in a traditional New Year’s game. You’ll find everything from classic designs with kabuki actors to modern anime motifs, plus snacks and festival food. It’s a perfect mix of old Tokyo atmosphere, warm lantern light, and that crisp end-of-year air.

    If you’re in the mood for Christmas vibes, Time Out Tokyo highlights several seasonal spots you can enjoy all week. Shibuya Christmas Market 2025 brings a German-style winter village to central Tokyo, with mulled wine, sausages, ornaments, and live performances tucked among wooden huts. Over in Maihama, Disney Christmas 2025 at Tokyo Disney Resort lights up both parks with evening illuminations, special parades, and limited-edition holiday snacks, making a full-day escape that still feels very Tokyo.

    For something stylish and indoors, This Tokyo reports that Jo Malone London’s Christmas Pop-up at Omotesando Hills is running through December 25. The event transforms the B3 Space O floor into a maze-like game lounge decorated with chess pieces and playing cards, with interactive fragrance “games,” photo spots, and walls of cologne testers. Entry is free, and if listeners reserve in advance, staff mention there are limited dice-shaped perfume charms as a bonus. It’s a fun date idea or a relaxed stop between shopping along Omotesando’s illuminated zelkova-lined avenue.

    Art lovers have a packed schedule too. According to the official Go Tokyo exhibition guide, the Tokyo Metropolitan Art Museum is in the final days of “Van Gogh’s Home,” featuring more than 30 works and rare letters from the Van Gogh Museum in Amsterdam, with timed-entry reservations needed on busy days. Go Tokyo also points to the Machu Picchu and the Golden Empires of Peru show at Mori Arts Center Gallery in Roppongi Hills, where about 130 artifacts and an immersive digital recreation of Machu Picchu let you explore Andean history high above the Tokyo skyline.

    Looking ahead to the weekend, Japan Travel lists the Oedo Antique Market in central Tokyo on Sunday, bringing vintage kimono, retro furniture, old vinyl, and art to an open-air plaza. It’s ideal for slow browsing, people-watching, and picking up one-of-a-kind souvenirs before the New Year rush begins.

    So whether listeners want traditional temple fairs, Christmas markets, high-end fragrance pop-ups, or world-class art, Tokyo this week is absolutely stacked with options.

  • Tokyo Ablaze with K-Pop, Broadway, and Festive Delights

    Tokyo Ablaze with K-Pop, Broadway, and Festive Delights
    Dec 13 2025
    Tokyo is buzzing this week, so let’s dive straight into what listeners can actually do in and around the city over the coming days.

    If you want to start with something big and spectacular, head to Japan National Stadium for the 2025 Music Bank Global Festival in Tokyo. Japan Concert Tickets and Jasumo Tickets explain that this K‑pop mega-event runs over two days, with doors opening at 3 p.m. and the main show kicking off at 5 p.m., featuring around 20 of the biggest groups in the scene, including Stray Kids, ATEEZ, Enhypen, IVE, &Team, BOYNEXTDOOR, ZEROBASEONE, and ILLIT. Expect three hours of choreography, lasers, and giant LED stages, all in the same stadium that hosted the Tokyo Olympics, plus a massive crowd of local and international fans.

    Staying in a festive mood, listeners can make their way to Shibuya’s Tokyu Theatre Orb for Broadway CHRISTMAS WONDERLAND. Japan Concert Tickets reports that the touring show lands in Tokyo with a full-on holiday spectacle: high-energy Broadway singers and dancers, classic Christmas songs, glittering costumes, and big production numbers. It’s a great option if you want something cozy, English-friendly, and indoors after a chilly Tokyo evening.

    Over on the bayside, consider a romantic night at Odaiba Marine Park for the Odaiba Christmas Lantern event. According to the official Odaiba tourism site, from around 5 p.m. they start reception and lantern distribution, and just after 6:30 p.m. the helium-filled lanterns covered in washi paper float up together to music, turning the sky into a slow-motion light show. Ticket types are branded as Rapunzel Lantern Tickets, priced in the ¥6,980 to ¥9,980 range depending on how many lanterns you launch and how many people enter the launch area, and only small groups are allowed into the main zone, so it feels surprisingly intimate for such a visual spectacle.

    If listeners are in the mood for something a bit more niche and very “only in Tokyo,” Metropolis Japan lists an Immersive Bubble – Kayo Retro Show by the Tokyo Kakehiki Club. Running from 7:30 p.m. to 9 p.m., it’s a live, immersive performance built around retro Japanese pop, evoking the city’s bubble-era nightlife with music, visuals, and interactive elements. Think neon, nostalgia, and a slightly underground, artsy vibe.

    Card-game fans can hop down to nearby Yokohama for Asia Eternal Weekend 2025, which Hareruya describes as a huge Magic: The Gathering festival at PACIFICO Yokohama. The main Legacy and Vintage championships run this weekend, with hundreds of competitive players and plenty of side events, play areas, and merch, so even if you’re not chasing trophies, you can drop in, watch high-level matches, and play casual games in a convention-like atmosphere.

    For something outdoorsy to balance all the concerts and lights, Time Out Tokyo highlights Winter Wonder Park Yokohama at Yamashita Park, open from December through early March. Instead of a traditional ice rink, it offers an eco-friendly resin skating surface with sweeping views of Yokohama’s harbour. Admission is about ¥1,200 for adults and ¥1,000 for kids, including skate rental and protective gear, and there’s even a combo ticket with nearby Yokohama Marine Tower if you want to end your evening with a night view over the bay.

    Throughout the week, Tokyo Art Beat notes that museums and galleries around the city are packed with special year-end exhibitions, from contemporary art in Roppongi and Kiyosumi-Shirakawa to photography and design shows in smaller independent spaces. It’s easy to build a relaxed weekday evening by pairing an exhibition with dinner in neighborhoods like Ginza, Shinjuku, or Ebisu.

    So whether listeners are here for K‑pop fireworks, Christmas romance on the water, retro pop immersion, competitive card battles, or just a peaceful skate with harbour views, Tokyo has something waiting this week.
