Tokyo celebrates Christmas, but howto celabrate it is different from Western countries.
Statistics show only 1-2% of Japanese are Christian. Only limited number of people go church.
Christmas is just a holiday to enjoy shopping and dinners and recieving (giving) presents. Shops, hotels and streets are covered with glittering Christmas decorations.
Most people know Vatican’s Christmas mass or Rockefeller Center’s Christmas tree in NY. In Tokyo, however, there is no such symbolic Christman scene.
On 26th of December, shops and streets quickly take off the Christmas decorations and change them to the New Year decorations.
