Listen Later

Tokyo is buzzing this week, so if you’re wondering what to do, let’s dive straight into some of the most fun and festive things happening across the city.

First, if you’re in the mood for pure holiday magic, Tokyo Disneyland is wrapping up its Disney Christmas celebration today at Maihama. According to Tokyo Disney Resort’s official schedule, the park is open from 9 in the morning to 9 at night with special parades like Disney Harmony in Color, Toys Wondrous Christmas, and the night-time Tokyo Disneyland Electrical Parade Dreamlights, plus the Starbright Christmas fireworks lighting up the sky. It’s a full day of Christmas shows, character greetings, and illuminations all in one place.

Over in Shibuya, Japan Travel reports that the Shibuya Blue Cave Illumination 2025 is in its final hours along the stretch from Shibuya toward Yoyogi Park. Thousands of blue LEDs turn the avenue into a glowing tunnel each evening through tonight, making it a perfect after-dinner stroll or date spot before the lights switch off for the season.

If listeners love live performance, also in Shibuya, Tokyu Theater Orb inside Shibuya Hikarie is hosting Broadway Christmas Wonderland 2025 through tonight, according to Japan Travel. Think high-energy Broadway-style singing, dancing, and classic holiday tunes, all in a sleek modern theater directly connected to Shibuya Station, so it’s easy to pair with shopping and a city-view dinner.

For something a bit more niche and otaku-friendly later this week, Tokyo Joypolis in Odaiba is launching the Joypolis x Monster Strike Striker Festival collaboration from December 26, as reported by Saiganak. Joypolis will feature Monster Strike themed attractions, special missions, and limited-edition goods inside the indoor amusement park. It’s a great pick if listeners want to stay warm, ride some digital attractions, and dive into a game universe at the same time.

And for romance and character-driven fun running through the weekend and into the new year, Yurakucho Marui near Tokyo Station is hosting Voltage Inc.’s Heartwarming Event 2025 Eternal Pledge to Protect You on the 8th floor, according to Voltage’s official announcement. Admission is free, and inside you’ll find oversized illustrations from popular romance games, themed photo spots, and exclusive “Knight Certificates” featuring pledges from 153 characters, plus limited-edition merch and lottery-style prizes with every qualifying purchase.

So whether listeners want fireworks over a castle, neon-blue city lights, Broadway-style Christmas spectacle, game collaborations, or sweet, story-driven character experiences, Tokyo has a packed lineup for the rest of this week and the weekend.
