Experience the essence of a European winter with Fukuoka’s Christmas Market, an iconic seasonal event. Twinkling lights and festive illuminations set the scene at JR Hakata Station front, where quaint wooden huts line up offering Christmas market specialties such as hot wine, hot chocolate, and twirled sausages, along with sales of Christmas items.
Adding to the atmosphere are live performances ranging from classical and opera to gospel and acoustic music, all elevating the spirit of the venue.
This year’s mug design for the Hakata venue features ivy as its motif, symbolizing enduring human connections and the wish for unbroken bonds, much like ivy’s vigorous and continual growth.
