There are quite a few Christmas market events that take place across Japan, but the Starry Sky Christmas Market at Konica Minolta Planetaria Tokyo might just be the most unique! This market will be set under the planetarium's dome, allowing attendees to enjoy imagery of a twinkling night sky as they enjoy festive food, drinks, and games.
The themed menu includes holiday season favorites like hot chocolate, mulled wine, and even "Santa" churros decorated with a red glaze and chopped pistachios.
If you do plan on attending, please note that while the event runs from December 4th until December 25th, there will be two non-operational days on the weekend of December 16th and 17th. Admission is free, but bring yen if you want to participate in any games or make food and drink purchases.
Getting there
The Konica Minolta Planetaria Tokyo is located just two minutes on foot from Yurakucho Station, which is served by the Yamanote Line, the Keihin-Tōhoku Line, and the Yurakucho Line.
