Nagoya, Japan: Christmas Market and Winter Illumination

 

Blessed to visit another Christmas season in Japan.  Let us share with you some sites in Nagoya.

Around Nagoya station, there are a lot of trees and lights shining at night, inside buildings or in the streets.

Kitte Sync Link Tree

Stands 10 meters tall on the first-floor atrium and interactively changes its colors.

Dai Nagoya Building

Location: Sky Garden (5th floor)

Since even the branches below and the grounds were lighted, give the effect of floating design above. 

Symphony Toyota Building

Around Otsu-dori street

Along Hiro Koji street

Nagoya Christmas Market

In Odori park, the other end is in the autumn season.

The other end is the Christmas Market.  It's in the square of Hisaya Odori Park Edion Hisaya Plaza.  The market starts by early December until 25th.

Mostly locals, families with kids, couples, friends, students and office workers were the crowd.

Only a few stalls for the Christmas items.

For food choices, some of the stalls have the same offering.  

We got hot wine, but the hot chocolate next to our table looks good as well. For our first meal, there was a variety of sausages and fries.

Thankfully, they set up red tents. That really saved us from the chilly wind outside.

There are more stand-up tables to accommodate those who enjoyed the freezing cold.

For our second serving, we had nachos and churros.

Thankful to experience another Christmas market adventure under the chilly weather in Japan. Check out other European-style Christmas markets in Fukuoka.
