Noritake Garden (ノリタケの森) and AEON MALL Nagoya Noritake Garden are jointly holding the Christmas event "Christmas Memories" from Saturday, November 7 to Friday, December 25, 2026.
The event is held to bring liveliness to the local community, and this is its fifth year. This year also marks 25 years since Noritake Garden opened and 5 years since AEON MALL Nagoya Noritake Garden opened. The theme is "A Christmas That Ties Feelings Together and Connects Them to the Future" (想いを結び、未来へつなぐクリスマス), reflecting the hope of continuing to offer a space where visitors can create smiles and memories. The venue is decorated with ribbon motifs that express "tying feelings together," representing visitors' memories and their connections with the local community.
Highlights
New This Year: A Metasequoia Christmas Tree
New this year, the metasequoia along the stream (せせらぎ) is decorated to look like a Christmas tree. After sunset the illuminations are lit, and images of Santa Claus are projected at the foot of the tree. Tree-shaped lights are also set up along the path leading to the metasequoia, creating a fantastical atmosphere.
Christmas Decorations and Photo Spots
The plaza on the north side of the Red Brick Building (赤レンガ棟) features a Christmas tree about 4 meters tall, a Christmas house decorated with Santa Claus and ribbons, and an arch tunnel, among other decorations. Around the fountain plaza, photo spots with a sleigh and wreaths are set up, so visitors can enjoy the Christmas atmosphere in the daytime as well as the illuminations at night.
Families and friends are welcome to visit together.
