Christmas Preparations in Tokyo

Christmas is a big season in Tokyo. With like only 1% of Japanese being Christian you may find that surprising... but it its. Very different to the west... if you think that things have gotten very commercial in the west with Christmas... it is ONLY commercial here. Lots of shopping, lots of gifts, expensive dinners, parties... and of course LIGHTS. One quick trip to Japan and you will realize that folks here LOVE their lights and will keep Ginza and Shinjuku some of the brightest areas that I have ever been.

Here are some of the lights that have gone up in Shinjuku for the season.
