A place to visit Santa Claus in Yokohama

Where can I visit Santa Claus in Yokohama? If you are looking for somewhere to get a photo with Santa Claus in Yokohama, the Ikea Yokohama Store has a nice Santa Claus photo opportunity. Santa Claus will visit this Ikea four times this December.

The dates of the Santa Claus visit are Saturday December 13th, Sunday December 14th, Saturday December 20th and Sunday December 21st 2025. He will visit three times each day; 11 am, 1 pm and and 3 pm each day. He will give children a commemorative sticker of their visit. It is a free event, but you need to book it in advance and it needs to be booked by December 12th 2025. Also, you need to be a member of "Ikea Family" to do so.

You can get a shuttle bus to the Ikea Yokohama Store from JR Shin-Yokohama station to IKEA Yokohama Bus stop. Official event page.

The photo is just an image and not from this event. Santa Claus is also visiting Takashimaya in Yokohama. You can find information for that Santa Claus on City-cost too.
