While enjoying the champagne-gold illuminations along Marunouchi Naka-dori street, drop by this small Christmas market run by luxury hotel The Peninsula Tokyo. Shop for popular Christmas sweets such as stollen and strawberry panna cotta, as well as Christmas gifts and pet-care items at the hotel's Nakadori Café - The Terrace.
On Saturdays, Sundays leading up to Christmas (and November 24), children can learn how to decorate gingerbread houses at the on-site workshops held twice a day from 1pm and 3pm. The participation fee starts from ¥8,000 per person and reservations are required. (Workshops are held separately in the Ginza Ballroom on December 13 and the Sky Room on December 14.) Take-away gingerbread house kits are also available to purchase for ¥7,000.
What’s more, on December 13, 14, 20, 21, 24 and 25, the hotel’s adorable bear mascot Pen will make an appearance (at 1pm, 3pm and 5pm).
The Christmas market opens daily from 12noon to 6pm, until 8pm between December 23 and 25.
