Solamachi Christmas Market

German-influenced Christmas markets are taking Tokyo by storm, and this one offers all the usual attractions: wooden stalls with sellers touting various 'holiday accessories', warm glühwein, and traditional confections such as Stollen, waffles and chocolate fudge. The lighting in the market area combines nicely with the winter illuminations at Tokyo Skytree, creating an unoriginal but admittedly homely atmosphere at the Solamachi shopping complex.
