Celebrate Christmas by releasing floating lanterns into the sky at the annual Lantern Night event in Shinjuku. Instead of the usual candle-lit sky lanterns, the event is using LED ones that are much safer.
Tickets cost ¥6,500 (¥3,500 for children), which will get you a lantern and entry into the market, where you can shop for festive goods, play games and enjoy live performances by local instrumental groups. There will also be plenty of food trucks serving warm meals and drinks to help you beat the cold.
