A place to visit Santa Claus in Funabashi

Where can I visit Santa Claus in Funabashi? If you are looking for somewhere to get a photo with Santa Claus in Funabashi city, Chiba Prefecture, the Ikea Tokyo Bay 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 four times each day; at 11 am, 11.30 am, 1 pm and 1.30 pm. He will give children a commemorative sticker of their visit. Each time he will see 30 groups. A participation ticket is required, they will be giving them out each day.

Some of the Ikea have stipulations to visiting Santa Claus, but this branch doesn't appear to. It is a free event. Ikea Tokyo Bay is about a five minute walk from JR Minami-Funabashi station on the Keiyo line and Musashino line.  Official event page.
