oh, okay...well in japan christmas is generally considered a romantic holiday for couples (not so much for families) and isn't celebrated in the same way in Western Nations with Christian roots....don't get me wrong you will see lots of Christmas displays all over the place and lots of beautiful light displays in major cities like Tokyo, Osaka, etc....but in Japan the big countdown will be for the New Year not for Christmas.


oh okie. i see.
aah well. at least i bet the displays are a lot better than where i am now.
but anyways thanks a lot! (:

Don't worry I'm sure you'll see some really dazzling displays...I posted some pictures of Roppongi Hills during Christmas time that I found on the Internet before...this is where Hana Yori Dango season 1 was filmed...the lights are very pretty...here's a few pictures:

If you rub his nose, will your wish come true?

WOW, Tu-san! Amazing pics once again. I love the idea of sprinkling the snow and ground with lights. :applaud:

Actually, you rub Hachiko's paws for good luck. I don't know if Hachiko is in Wiki or not, but you should check out his story, very sad and touching, typically Japanese. :puppydog: [/list:u]

i think hachiko's story is a lovely one and in a country like japan that values loyalty and honour and i can see why he's been immortalised as a statue. :mrgreen:

when i went to shibuya and took a picture next to hachiko i left him a scooby snack that i brought with me from the States...after i walked away he kicked it away....apparently he was used to eating much tastier Japanese food. :beaten:

he barked something like "oishikunai"

the copious amounts of alcohol that i consumed in shibuya after bidding farewell to hachiko helped.
