At the first edition of Shibuya Christmas Market 2025, you can enjoy two completely different concepts across the event’s two main venues.

The Miyashita Park venue is themed around an authentic European Christmas, recreating the atmosphere of Frankfurt, Germany, which is often cited as the birthplace of the Christmas market. Stalls feature carefully selected goods directly imported from Europe, letting visitors savor an European ambiance.

The Yoyogi Park BE STAGE venue is themed as a warm Hawaiian Christmas, evoking the holiday spirit of Hawaii. This cozy market incorporates tropical touches and is notable for unique decorations such as Christmas trees made from palm trees.

2. Giant Trees and Photo Spots

At both venues, a spectacular Christmas tree that serves as the event’s symbol will be installed.

Countless LED lights will sparkle, creating a magical atmosphere at night. It’s sure to be bustling as a photo spot where you can take beautiful, Christmas-only pictures!

3. Dai Hirai’s Image Song Sets the Scene

The image song “LALALA (Baby it takes two)” provided by singer-songwriter Dai Hirai will be used as background music at the venues throughout the event.

The song, themed on warm moments with loved ones, will further enhance the romantic Christmas atmosphere.
