Christmas is Japan is very different than Christmas in America. I failed to realize this until Christmas day. I always thought of Christmas being the biggest holiday of the year, but in Japan New Years is. ( I will post about New Years later.) In Japan, Christmas is mainly a couple’s day. Unlike America, where everything is pretty much closed on Christmas, most, if not all, the stores are open in Japan. My friends and I decided to go to Roppongi to see the illumination there. The lights there were amazing and they had a lot of Christmas decorations that reminded me of home. I only walked around a small part of Roppongi, but I was still impressed. I was able to see the Tokyo Tower lit up. It was interesting to see tour groups being shown around Roppongi at 8-9ish at night on Christmas.
