Our tip
Count the market as one stop in an evening out in the district: 19 stalls on a single plaza, open until 9pm, and the tree lit until 11pm. If you come with children, pick a date when Santa is there, from 21 to 23 and from 28 to 29 November, from 19 to 20 December or on 24 and 25 December. For the city’s big ticketed market, add the Tokyo Christmas Market.
