December 26, 2017

It's a merry Christmas celebration in Japan as lots of Santa Claus were seen everywhere in the country to celebrate the festive season

About 1,000 people attended "Tokyo Santa Run" in Chiba last Saturday.

The Christmas charity event was held at Makuhari Seaside Park. Runners wore their best Santa Claus costumes as they join the fun run.

The said event will provide Christmas presents for children fighting disease.



Meanwhile, Marunouchi shop clerks and workers also wore their Santa Claus costumes as they join a Christmas parade at the Marunouchi shopping district in Tokyo last December 22.
