My Christmas Experience in Japan: Cozy Celebrations and a Special Figure Unboxing!

TLDRIn Japan, Christmas is more focused on romantic celebrations than religious traditions. I enjoyed a relaxing getaway at an onsen, visited a Tokyo Christmas Market, and indulged in Korean fried chicken and Christmas cake.

On a side note, I also unboxed a beautiful 15th anniversary scale figure as a special Christmas gift!
