Azabudai Hills is bringing back its Christmas market for the 2026 season. The Azabudai Hills Christmas Market 2026 (麻布台ヒルズ クリスマスマーケット 2026) opens on Saturday, November 21 and runs every day until Christmas Day, with 19 stalls set up in the Central Plaza: 15 serving food and drinks and 4 selling Christmas goods.
Five of the food stalls are new this year, including a Belgian fries shop from Asakusa and a tearoom brand from Vienna. Below you will find the dates, the full stall list with sample prices, the lunch and share sets that offer better value, and the extras around the market, from Santa greetings to a roughly 10 m Cartier tree.

Coming by subway? Kamiyacho Station connects directly to the station plaza at the entrance of Azabudai Hills. From there, the Sakura-asa street (桜麻通り) leads to the Central Plaza, and this year it gets its first-ever light-up in champagne gold, so the walk from the station is part of the show.

- DEMMERS TEEHAUS is a tea brand from Vienna, Austria, with a shop in Roppongi since 2008. Besides Sachertorte it brings apple strudel and a hot spiced apple drink called Apfelpunsch.
- Dining 33, the grand bistro produced by chef Kiyomi Mikuni, brings back last year’s raclette, with plenty of cheese poured over vegetables and sausage.
- German Christmas Drink Stand imports its mulled wine directly from Germany, including rare 100% apple and 100% grape types, plus a non-alcoholic version.
Christmas goods: 4 shops and gift sets
If you are shopping for decorations or presents, the four goods shops are the reason to go. All four sell gift sets with several items packed together and offer gift wrapping.
