Tokyo Christmas Market 2026: weekdays cost half of 24–25 Dec, but check what is on sale first
This week's news · Checked 2026-11-08
What happened. Tokyo Christmas Market 2026 is at two venues this year (organiser's official site):
- Shin-Toyosu (Koto ward): 20 Nov–25 Dec 2026, 11am–9:30pm (4pm on the first day), last entry 8:30pm. Two minutes' walk from Shin-Toyosu Station on the Yurikamome line.
- Shiba Park (the plaza by Onarimon Station): 4–25 Dec 2026, 11am–10pm (4pm on the first day), last entry 9pm. One minute from exit A6 of Onarimon Station on the Toei Mita line. The organiser warns that the nearest station is not Shibakoen Station.
Entry fees (the same at both venues):
| Day | Adult (junior high and up) | Primary school | Preschool |
|---|---|---|---|
| Weekdays to 23 Dec | ¥1,000 (≈ RM26) | ¥500 (≈ RM13) | Free |
| Sat, Sun and public holidays to 23 Dec | ¥1,500 (≈ RM38) | ¥500 | Free |
| 24 and 25 Dec | ¥2,000 (≈ RM51) | ¥1,000 (≈ RM26) | Free |
Advance tickets are sold on KKday and at FamilyMart multi-copy machines (since 4 Nov). Adult advance tickets come with an original mug; primary school tickets do not. The market opens in the rain but may close in bad weather. RM at the ECB rate of 6 Nov 2026, ¥100 = RM2.5637.
What it means for you.
- A family of 2 adults + kids aged 8 and 5 pays ¥2,500 (≈ RM64) on a weekday, ¥3,500 (≈ RM90) at the weekend and ¥5,000 (≈ RM128) on 24–25 Dec. Go on a weekday before the 24th.
- Check what is on sale first. The official Shin-Toyosu food list includes beer, mulled wine, hot dogs, pizza, stews and churros, plus one alcohol-free strawberry drink. The list says nothing about halal. If your family won't eat there, the entry fee buys the atmosphere and the photos only.
- Shiba Park opens only on 4 Dec. On a late-November trip, Shin-Toyosu is the only venue open.
- Halal food on the same line: Shin-Toyosu is on the Yurikamome, the same line that serves Odaiba. On DiverCity Tokyo Plaza 6F, the mall operator lists Shinshu Soba Sojibo as a "halal-certified shop". There is a prayer room at DECKS Tokyo Beach, Seaside Mall 5F (checked 28 Sept 2026). Full list: halal food in Tokyo.
- Hotel: check rooms for 2 adults + 2 kids on 7–11 Dec on Tokyo hotels on Trip.com, priced in RM (filter for free cancellation).
