A Cultural Extravaganza
The Ginza Holiday Festival is a celebration of all things Japanese, offering a blend of traditional craftsmanship, cuisine, and entertainment.

Festival-goers will have the opportunity to meet these artisans and even acquire some of their exquisite creations!

These performances provide a window into the heart and soul of Japan’s artistic heritage.
