Roppongi Hills is starting the year with a big bash that includes lively taiko drumming, koto performances, plus the classic New Year’s lion dance. There will be booths set up in the arena where you can dabble in traditional Japanese New Year games like kendama, top spinning and otedama juggling. If you find yourself an expert in them, you can decide to compete in the top spinning and kendama tournaments held on the 2nd and 3rd.
Make sure to take home a pack of Wakayama’s premium umeboshi (pickled plum) which are handed to all attendees while supplies last.
