We used to have about seven Christmas markets in Aichi prefecture every December, but most of them are cancelled this year due to corona virus. Yet, I have found some markets in Aichi and Gifu prefectures which will still be held this year, and decided to share them with you!

Everyone can freely join these Christmas markets. Just remember to wear a mask, and wash your hands constantly! Stay safe, and enjoy!
