Christmas in Tokyo is nothing short of dazzling, and this year, Palace Hotel Tokyo is raising the bar with its new luxury package, A Tokyo Christmas. Blending Japanese sophistication with Western festive traditions, the five-star property transforms into a holiday haven, complete with towering Christmas trees, gourmet feasts, and an exclusive guided tour of the city’s world-famous winter illuminations.

Special touches include a bottle of Laurent-Perrier Cuvée Rosé Brut, homemade Christmas cookies, and a handcrafted holiday cake from the hotel’s renowned Sweets & Deli patisserie.

One of the highlights of the package is a private four-hour tour of Tokyo’s spectacular winter illuminations. Guests are chauffeured around the city in comfort, with stops at Marunouchi Naka Dori, Omotesando, Shibuya, and other glittering neighborhoods.
The experience is tailored to each group’s interests and can include visits to the city’s Christmas markets at Roppongi and Azabudai Hills. To capture the magic, a professional local photographer is available, with names like Gorta Yuuki—a photographer published in Vogue and Condé Nast Traveller—featured on the hotel’s roster.
A Christmas Feast to Remember
At the heart of the festive season is food, and Palace Hotel Tokyo delivers with a sumptuous prix-fixe Christmas dinner at Grand Kitchen. Expect a six-course menu showcasing delicacies such as abalone, snow crab, caviar-topped flounder, and premium Japanese beef.
Those seeking something even more refined can opt for a Michelin-starred dining experience at Esterre by Alain Ducasse or choose Japanese traditions with kaiseki at Wadakura, teppanyaki at GO, or tempura at Tatsumi (at additional cost).
