Japan Christmas Illuminations, Hand Warmers and…Vending Machines? – Christmas in Japan

During my Working Holiday in Japan I spent the Christmas season in Tokyo admiring all the awesome sparkling Christmas illuminations. There are the usual lit up tress, but also very sophisticated shows, interactive illuminations and light ups including projection mapping at the Tokyo Skytree. I visited five major Japanese Christmas illuminations (more info further down) taking many pictures and videos that I want to share with you!

Walking around in Tokyo looking at those Christmas lights in winter left me freezing. That’s why I’ll be introducing two methods of how to survive sightseeing in those conditions. Moreover, if you don’t know anything about Japanese vending machines. This is the chance to learn why they are special.
What do you think about Japan's light ups, Kairo and vending machines? Let me know in the comments! :)


Also follow my instagram account for some Christmas illumination pictures I will upload soon:

The Christmas Illuminations I went to:

I went in 2018, but the Illuminations are spectacular every year 😉
