Now in its 15th year, the Roppongi Christmas Market aims to reproduce the feeling of the world's biggest Christmas market in Stuttgart, Germany - albeit on a much smaller scale! The market will host seven different stores which will be selling over 1500 different items, including ornaments, wreaths, and other Christmas home decor.
There will also be a variety of German cuisine on offer at the event, including sausages, goulash, and glühwein, a popular festive season drink. There is no admission fee to enjoy the market's atmosphere, but do bring along some yen if you're planning to make a purchase.
Always important to remember when living or working in a foreign country that things aren't going to be the same as they are back home -- expectation management is key!
Hope that despite your disappointment you can find the true meaning of Christmas and managed to get some joy from the event. Enjoy the festive season! :)
