12. Tamaari Town Christmas Market
December 12–25
Saitama Super Arena, Saitama
Avoid the crowds destined for Tokyo’s markets and head to Saitama for something cozier. The Tamaari Town Christmas Market is known for its lights and delicious food selection, so get ready to fill up on roast chicken, steaks, clam chowder, and dumplings, as well as mulled wine, hot lemonade, and melted chocolate.
Stalls will also sell European trinkets, and a sparkling 6-meter-tall Christmas tree will take pride of place among 150 illuminated zelkova trees. The market takes place a 3-minute walk from JR Saitama-Shintoshin Station — only 30 minutes from Tokyo.
13. Cocoon City Christmas Market
December 19, 20, 21, 24, 25
Cocoon City, Saitama
Just on the west side of Saitama Shintoshin Station, across the way from Tamaari Town Christmas Market, lives Cocoon City’s holiday events. In addition to illumination scenes and a massive 10-meter-tall Christmas tree, they offer a brief but beautiful Christmas Market for visitors for just a few days before the 25th.
Stop by and get into the seasonal mood with gourmet food, hot drinks, and a variety of goods available for purchase. Time your visit right, and you can visit both markets in one day.
14. Metsa Village Nordic Christmas Market
November 1–December 25
Metsa Village, Hanno
Many of Tokyo’s Christmas Markets take inspiration from Germany, but Metsa Village, a Finnish theme park that also includes Moomin Valley Park, takes its cues from Nordic tradition. A visit to the village’s Christmas Market will delight visitors with goods imported directly from Scandinavia, including handmade trinkets. There will also be live performances of Christmas music.
