What is Christmas Like in Buddhist Japan?

In this video, we explore what Christmas is like in Japan, a country where Buddhism and Shinto are the main traditions. You may be surprised to learn that Christmas is not a religious holiday for most Japanese people, but it is still celebrated in a unique and joyful way. From Christmas cake and fried chicken to romantic dates, the Japanese celebration of Christmas is very different from the traditions in Western countries.

I also share a Buddhist perspective on Christmas and how its values of love, kindness, and generosity are similar to teachings in Buddhism. As Buddhists, we can find meaning in the universal message of Christmas while staying true to our own spiritual path. Compassion and joy are important for all of us, no matter where we come from or what we believe.

Take a moment to reflect on how we can bring more kindness and peace into our lives. Even small actions—like giving a smile or sharing a meal—can brighten someone’s day.
