Christmas trees and giant Nutcracker figures decorate various locations such as the International Building, Marunouchi 1st Building Plaza, Marunouchi Building, Shin-Marunouchi Building, and Marunouchi OAZO Plaza. The first-floor lobby of KITTE in the Marunouchi area also features a dreamy white Christmas tree, the tallest indoor Christmas tree in Japan, bathed in blue lighting to create a magical ambiance. KITTE Mall was renovated from the former Tokyo Central Post Office and has been one of Tokyo’s uniquely distinctive malls since its opening in 2013. Adjacent to the building, the preserved section of the Tokyo Central Post Office has set up a special postal window to meet the demand for sending New Year’s greeting cards in Japan. The area sees lively crowds picking out cards to send, so why not select some uniquely designed New Year’s cards (nengajo) to send to loved ones or keep as souvenirs during your visit?

In addition, the Mitsubishi Ichigokan Museum, located near the main Marunouchi Christmas light-up street, also features a small and romantic Christmas tree in its rear plaza. Staff invite visitors to write down their wishes and hang them on the tree, making a heartfelt wish in this warm season and embracing new hopes for the coming year.
