TokyoVerls 0 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 Hi All, We are new to Japan this year, looking forward to another week in Hakuba over new years however have not spent Christmas in Tokyo as yet. Does anyone have any reccomendations for a Christmas Lunch somewhere that is decent? Looked at the Champagne Brunch @ Ritz-Carlton, but it seems a bit steep and only goes for 1hr 45mins.

Jerro 0 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 This is Japan and so choose your favourite Kentucky Fried Chicken 'restaurant' and feast! But remember Chistmas really is over at the end of 24th. Link to post Share on other sites
TokyoVerls 0 Posted December 10, 2013 Author Share Posted December 10, 2013 Thanks Guys, we are hosting a Christmas eve at ours for our friends, but they all have to woork Christmas day...our companies close for Christmas so yeah we might just have to go for a wander and see what we can find Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted December 10, 2013 Share Posted December 10, 2013 most places will be booked out.....I suggest doing an internet search as the best places won't be likely to allow walk ins on the day Link to post Share on other sites
ProbablyaCrazyPerson 2 Posted December 11, 2013 Share Posted December 11, 2013 Yes worth remembering that in Japan, 'Christmas' is actually 'celebrated' on the 24th, not the 25th. Christmas trees get taken down before the start of business on the 25th. Sorry for the ''s. Link to post Share on other sites

grungy-gonads 54 Posted December 16, 2013 Share Posted December 16, 2013 She does seem rather lovely. Though why so many Japanese ladies foolishly dye their hair a rubbish 'brown' colour when the natural magnificent black lucious is so beautiful, I don't know. They all should keep it close to my preferences! Link to post Share on other sites
