People often ask me, do they celebrate Christmas in Japan? Well, although Christmas is not a national holiday, many Japanese people do celebrate Christmas in their own way! Christmas in Japan is not quite how you would expect if you come from a Western country. There are some quirky Japan Christmas traditions, a unique aesthetic, and of course Japanese Christmas food is different from the west (KFC, anyone?) If you are going to Japan this Christmas season, exchanging gifts with Japanese friends or just want to learn more about the country, check out my guide. Merry Christmas!
