Japanese traditions in Christmas

Christmas is not a national holiday in Japan, but over time and due to the western influence, some traditions have been imported and adapted to the Japanese culture. Other traditions are exclusively Japanese.

It's not common to find the decorated Christmas tree in Japanese homes. However, it can be seen very often in shops and shopping centres.

🍗 Chicken

Due to a highly successful marketing campaign that KFC did in the 70s, every year millions of Japanese people do long queues to buy chicken to share with their family. Nowadays, it's the most common meal during Christmas day.

🎁 Presents

Christmas in Japan is seen more as a moment to share happiness rather than a religious festivity. Some people even see it as a romantic day and couples often share meals in romantic restaurants and exchange presents.
