Japan Christmas

For a country with under 2% calling themselves Christian, I found it interesting to see so much of Japan with Christmas decorations.

Last December, I visited Japan with most of my activities confined to Tokyo for The Monster Movie Fan's Guide To Japan-related business and Niigata for rest and relaxation. I stayed at two hotels and both had a Christmas tree in the lobby.

Here's some photos of Christmas decorations I saw:
