What to expect at Tokyo Midtown Christmas
Tokyo Midtown is transformed into an enchanting winter wonderland for “Midtown Christmas”, with plenty for everyone to enjoy.
There will be illuminations, Christmas trees, ice skating, musical performances and a Christmas Market.
Illuminations
Multiple immersive illumination experiences will be set up for “Midtown Christmas 2024”.
The “Ensemble Lights” display will bring you the feeling of being in the middle of a winter wonderland, with around 240,000 soap bubble illuminations on display whilst snow gently begins to fall around you.
Illuminations will be set to music, with soap bubble effects taking place once every 6 minutes and snow effects once every 15 minutes.
The “Walk of Light” illuminations will run from the 14th November 2024 until the 24th February 2025.
Midtown Garden will be bathed in the warm glow of around 320,000 golden lights decorating the trees.
Sparkling and elegant, these illuminations are a staple of the Christmas season at Tokyo Midtown.
Christmas Trees
The outdoor garden area will feature a beautifully decorated real fir Christmas tree.
The grand tree will be decorated with gold and red decorations, as well as mirror ornaments scattered around the tree to create delicate sparkling beauty as you approach Tokyo Midtown’s entrance.
The Galleria location of Tokyo Midtown will be decorated in the theme of “Snow Gift”, intended to give a sense of the peace and beauty of Christmas.
There will be a feathery snow tree decorating the atrium area which is designed to look like falling snow.
The first floor of the Galleria will house the 4 meter tall Santa Tree, a specially designed tree structure decorated with 1,600 Santa Claus ornaments.
Why not take the time to appreciate the intricate design and pick out your favourite ornament?
The Garden Terrace area will have an exclusive photo spot called the Snow Fall Forest, taking inspiration from a snow covered forest.
