The spirit of European Christmas comes to Japan with the Osaka Christmas Market. Enjoy the hallmarks of classic Christmas cheer throughout December — food, fun, and a fancy fair.
What happens?
Modeled after a traditional German Christmas market, this market has dozens of stalls selling Christmas food and trinkets. Stop by for some mulled wine with spices, German stollen loaves, and grilled sausages to keep you warm on the frosty winter nights.
If you’re doing your Christmas shopping, don’t leave without picking up some traditional toys or trinkets to give your home some Christmas cheer.
