Details ↓Kyochika’s take · what it is · getting there

Good to know

Christmas tree lighting at the hotel by Yokohama Station's west exit. Themed "The Beginning of Bloom", the blue tree with flowers is built by Takenaka Garden & Greening. A student handbell performance and a kids' cheer show lead to a countdown lighting around 17:40. An online charity auction runs to Dec 25, supporting young people leaving child care facilities.
