5 Best Festive Events at Midtown Christmas 2023

Coach Midtown Ice Rink

Midtown’s ice rink makes a welcome return courtesy of luxury fashion house Coach. Not only does admission include entry to the rink itself, but it also comes with a ¥500 coupon redeemable for food and drink at Midtown eateries. What better way to enjoy a day out than with ice skating followed by a tasty treat?

Promenade of Lights

The beloved illumination event returns for another year. Enjoy a mesmerizing stroll along a shimmering gold open-air pathway surrounded by elegant, glittering trees. As the promenade can be seen from restaurants facing Midtown Garden, you can even enjoy the resplendent landscape while you dine.

Gold Trees

This year marks the debut of Tokyo Midtown’s Gold Trees, an installation that creates a shining spectacle in Midtown Garden. Thirty-six 4-meter-tall trees stand gracefully in the garden, transforming the space into a golden forest during the daytime. Come nightfall, light, sound and fog are added to the mix, and the installation becomes a dramatic display of seasonal scenery.

Galleria Installation “Some Snow Scenes”

Visit the Galleria for a bedazzling display of light and sound from Japanese design studio Wow. The audiovisual installation is comprised of crystal icicles and a multitude of orbs that, with the help of outside light, subtly change to depict snow in all its forms, from gently falling snowflakes to whirling blizzards. Delicate piano notes accompany the brilliant scene.

Sustainable Christmas Tree

“Sustainability” is the word on everyone’s lips, and Tokyo Midtown is no different. Throughout the year, the trees of Midtown Garden are carefully pruned to keep them healthy, and this year, for the first time, these cuttings will be used to create a collection of fabulous sustainable Christmas trees. With a frame of recyclable stainless steel, these unique Christmas trees show that sustainability can be heartwarming in more ways than one.
