Tokyo Christmas Market 2026 Comes to Shin-Toyosu for the First Time, Opening in Stages from November 20 at Two Venues with Shiba Park

“Tokyo Christmas Market 2026” will be held at two venues, Shin-Toyosu and Shiba Park. The Shin-Toyosu venue (6-4 Toyosu, Koto City, Tokyo) runs for 36 days, from Friday, November 20 to Friday, December 25, 2026, marking the market’s first time in Shin-Toyosu. The Shiba Park venue (Shiba Park Area 4, Onarimon Station Square) runs for 22 days, from Friday, December 4 to Friday, December 25. Organized by the Tokyo Christmas Market Executive Committee, it places a Christmas pyramid about 14 meters tall at each venue. Admission is charged, and advance reservation tickets with a mug have been on sale through KKday since October 1.

From Hibiya Park to Jingu Gaien, and on to Shin-Toyosu

According to the official website, Tokyo Christmas Market began in Hibiya Park in 2015. The organizers describe the 14-meter Christmas pyramid brought from the village of Seiffen in Germany that year as the first of its kind shown in Japan. The market was held in Shiba Park for the first time in 2019 and in Jingu Gaien for the first time in 2023, and a second-generation Christmas pyramid was unveiled in 2024.

Attendance was about 250,000 at Hibiya Park in 2022. The previous year (2025), pyramids were placed at two venues, Jingu Gaien and Shiba Park, drawing a combined total of about 560,000 visitors (all organizers’ figures). The 2026 venues are Shin-Toyosu, with the theme of “sea,” and Shiba Park, with the theme of “forest.”

What kind of event is it? Glühwein, pretzels and mugs in two colors

The official website lists warm drinks such as glühwein and sweets, Christmas goods such as nutcrackers and ornaments, live performances by a choir visiting from Germany, street performances and workshops for parents and children.

For food and drink at the Shin-Toyosu venue, menu items such as “authentic German Laugenbrezel,” “Rindergulasch” and “three-color glühwein” have been announced. Details of vendors, stages and venue programs are to be announced in stages, and as of October 20 the stage performers had not been announced.

The 2026 mugs come in two colors: “Ultramarine” (a deep blue evoking the night sky and waterfront), exclusive to Shin-Toyosu, and “Kermes Red” (a traditional red long loved in Europe), exclusive to Shiba Park. Their designs connect when visitors tour both venues; inspired by the Christmas pyramid, each face depicts Christmas-related figures.
