20 Years of Roppongi Christmas
Known as one of Japan’s leading long-established Christmas markets, the Roppongi Hills Christmas Market will celebrate its momentous 20th anniversary this year.
The venue recreates the market in Stuttgart, Germany, which is said to be the world’s largest Christmas market event. Ten shops will line the streets, including Käthe Wohlfahrt — famous for selling traditional German Christmas items all year round — as well as shops offering authentic German cuisine such as mulled wine, sausages, and stollen, providing a heartwarming winter experience.
Booths will include Hot German Stand, Schmatz, Frankfurter Hausmeister, Pommes Produced by De Frites Staan, Atelier Niki Tiki, The Joy Luck Club and more.
Two special dioramas will be displayed. Sponsored by JRA, the dioramas are inspired by horses and a “starry town.” Various effects will be used throughout the diorama to make it magically come to life. The displays will be set up next to Roppongi Hills Arena and near the Roppongi Keyakizaka connecting bridge, from November 5 to December 27 (17:00 – 22:00).
