MIDTOWN YAESU CHRISTMAS 2026

Winter in Tokyo colored by light and sound「MIDTOWN YAESU CHRISTMAS 2026」

At Tokyo Midtown Yaesu, directly connected to Tokyo Station, the Christmas event「MIDTOWN YAESU CHRISTMAS 2026」will be held from November 19 (Thu) to December 25 (Fri), 2026.

This year’s theme is the history of Yaesu, which once developed as a hub of logistics and exchange as people and goods traveled along its canals. Through illuminations that combine light, decorations, and sound, a fantastical Christmas world unique to Yaesu unfolds.

Event Highlights

An approximately 40 m route of light and a Christmas tree about 7 m tall

In the first-floor galleria, the illumination「MIRAGE VOYAGE ~A winter route reflecting the glitter~」will appear. The roughly 40 m space is likened to a “shipping route” plied by boats, and the story of vessels carrying items related to crafts and manufacturing from regions across Japan arriving in Yaesu is expressed through light and sound.

At the center of the area, a Christmas tree approximately 7 m tall—the largest ever—will be installed. Light reflects off mirrors inspired by the water’s surface, and together with special light-and-sound performances held every 10 minutes, you can enjoy an enchanting atmosphere.

Experience Japanese traditional culture and craftsmanship

The venue will also feature items related to crafts and manufacturing from various regions of Japan. Through textiles from the in-house tenant「HOSOO TOKYO」and glass art from「Tsugaru Vidro」, you can experience Japan’s diverse handiwork and regional cultures.

In addition, the tree and illuminations incorporate the traditional Japanese pattern「七宝文様(しっぽうもんよう)」, which embodies wishes for human connection and harmony.

Illuminations spreading into the city and photo spots

In 2026, the illumination area will expand to the sidewalk along Sotobori-dori on the Tokyo Station side. Tokujin Yoshioka’s work「STAR」will also be lit up for the Christmas period only.

Inside the venue, a photo spot inspired by an Advent calendar will also appear, and music events and workshops are scheduled to be held.

Recommended for

Recommended for those who want to enjoy Tokyo’s Christmas illuminations, or who wish to experience Japan’s traditional culture together with contemporary light productions.

It’s easily accessible from Tokyo Station, and the ability to enjoy it alongside shopping and dining is another attraction. When visiting Tokyo in winter, why not experience a uniquely Yaesu Christmas where light and sound intertwine?
