Keyaki Hiroba Christmas Market

A fairly recent addition to the capital region's supply of Christmas markets, this one just outside Saitama's Super Arena is one of the more extensive of its kind, featuring well over a dozen stalls dealing in German and Nordic holiday decorations, mulled wine, soups and stews, sausages and all kinds of other seasonal (and not very seasonal) goodies. For a little something different, check out the pop-up 'teddybear museum' and snap a selfie together with dozens of cuddly toys.
