TOKYO TOWER Christmas Market 2026
A winter-limited market appears where you can enjoy Christmas at the foot of Tokyo Tower
A Christmas market is an event where you can experience the unique atmosphere of the season while enjoying food, drinks, and miscellaneous goods during the period leading up to Christmas. It is a winter tradition popular primarily in Europe, and it has also become one of the events that define winter outings and the Christmas season in Japan.
“TOKYO TOWER Christmas Market 2026” is a limited-time market in a prime location with Tokyo Tower directly overhead, where you can enjoy food and drinks unique to the Christmas season. It will be held at the special venue in front of the main entrance of Tokyo Tower from November 13 to December 25, 2026, with operating hours from 12:00 to 22:00 (last order 21:30). Admission is free.
The pleasure of a Christmas market is not only tasting the food and drinks, but also enjoying seasonal shopping while exploring the venue. At the venue, eight huts are lined up and various foods and drinks will be provided. You can enjoy a wide range of menus, from meal options such as fragrantly grilled sausages, pretzels, and pasta, to sweets such as churros. Furthermore, warm drinks that are welcome in the cold season, such as hot wine and hot chocolate, are also available. With your favorite food or drink in hand, you can spend a moment unique to the Christmas season.
Christmas miscellaneous goods are also sold at the venue. You can choose gifts for your loved ones, as well as Christmas gifts for yourself, and enjoy new encounters with food, drinks, and miscellaneous goods.
Why not enjoy a special Christmas only found here? This is a space where you can enjoy the Christmas mood combined with Tokyo Tower sightseeing during the day, while gazing at the lit-up Tokyo Tower from evening to night.

What is Tokyo Tower?
Tokyo Tower is a 333-meter steel lattice structure in central Tokyo, completed in 1958. It was built to serve as a broadcasting antenna for television and radio signals, and it also includes two observation decks. The design takes some structural cues from the Eiffel Tower, but the engineering was developed independently for Japan’s conditions, including seismic and wind loads. The tower is painted white and international orange, a color scheme required for aviation safety.
The main observation deck is at 150 meters; the top deck is at 250 meters. On clear days, the view covers much of the Greater Tokyo area, with Mount Fuji visible when atmospheric conditions allow. At night, the tower’s exterior lighting follows a seasonal schedule and changes color over the course of the year. During the Christmas Market, the lit tower serves as a visual anchor for the plaza below, where the stalls and events are laid out around its base.
Beyond its role as a tourist attraction, Tokyo Tower remains a functioning broadcast transmission site. That original purpose—rather than any symbolic status—continues to define the structure and its place in the city.
