After having fewer festive events last year, it seems like Tokyo is back in full power. Here are only a few picks of the best Christmas events in Tokyo 2021.

We know it is hard to believe, but it has been 20 years since the first Harry Potter movie was released. To commemorate this historical event, Marunouchi Bright Christmas comes up with a themed Christmas illumination.
