Christmas is such a beautiful time in Tokyo – the illuminations are AMAZING, and there are so many craft and musical events for families to join with young children!
The trick though is how to find them……as they are all usually listed only in Japanese!
So, here is a list to help you find a Christmas event for you to enjoy with your baby (some of these events require reservation, so please check!

P.S. One more extra tip – if you will be here in Japan for Christmas Day, make sure you prepare in advance how you would like to spend the day! It can be very quiet here in Japan on the actual Christmas Day, so make sure you prepare in advance to spend the day with friends or book a restaurant to enjoy a Christmas Day lunch with your family!
