Christmas to watch and enjoy
Yokohama Bay Quarter Hoshikuzu no Mori
The traditional Christmas tree at Yokohama Bay Quarter 3 has appeared again this year.
This year's theme for the 16th annual Christmas illumination event is "Stardust Forest."
The 8m tall real fir tree towering over the square is decorated with champagne gold lights and countless star ornaments, and at its base is a "Stardust Forest" where animals live. A "Stardust Curtain" of over 30,000 lights hangs above the tree, creating an overwhelming world of light that can be enjoyed together with the tree.
Crystal Glass Christmas Tree
In the garden of the Hakone Glass Forest Museum, two Christmas trees, one large and one small, have been decorated with a total of 150,000 crystal glass pieces. The two Christmas trees are said to represent couples, with the larger tree named "Romeo" and the smaller tree named "Juliet." With the magnificent natural scenery of Hakone's Owakudani as a backdrop, the 150,000 crystal glass pieces shine in seven vibrant colors in the sunlight and wind during the day, and in the evening they are lit up, creating a fantastical sparkle. You can enjoy the glow of "La Coppia," a one-of-a-kind Christmas tree, as it changes with the passing of time.

Enjoy handmade Christmas in winter only!
Fujino Art Park, where you can enjoy a workshop experience in the midst of rich nature, has introduced a menu perfect for Christmas. Why not enjoy a handmade Christmas?

You will make a "house clock" made by combining acrylic panels with a wooden frame, and a "thrilling house box" which is a miniature accessory box with a roof as a lid.

The new tree bottle with a glass texture can be turned into a small Christmas tree with LED wire lights.It also comes with a cap so it can be used as a drink bottle.

This small box is made by sandblasting the lid of a small glass box, placing various parts on it, and hardening it with UV resin, making it a great gift.

Cut acrylic sheets into your desired shapes and decorate them to make necklaces, key chains, and brooches.

A Christmas essential! Create an original 20cm diameter wreath, a wall decoration (swag), and a candle wreath with LED candle lights.

Glass dome We will create a glass dome tree that encases a beautiful white tree that looks like it is covered in snow.
