Holiday Sparkle And Kawaii Moments At MITSUKOSHI BGC

The holiday season is in full swing at MITSUKOSHI BGC, where Japanese charm and festive sparkle come together in one immersive celebration. This December, the country’s first and only Japanese mall transforms into a whimsical winter escape filled with twinkling décor, cheerful lights, and playful touches inspired by beloved Japanese traditions.

At the heart of the festivities is Doraemon: A Sparkling Adventure, an installation that has captured the hearts of families and fans since it opened. And if you haven’t had the chance to visit yet, this weekend is your last chance to meet Doraemon and Friends for a final Meet & Greet session at the Ground Floor Main Event Space. Guests can catch them during the remaining schedules and enjoy photo ops before they return to their time-traveling adventures.

But the joy continues. As Doraemon takes his final bow, Santa Claus makes his grand entrance on December 20, 21, and 25, ready to spread classic Christmas cheer and create new holiday memories for families visiting the mall.

Gift Wrapping With a Touch of Tradition

The service is available for items purchased from MITSUKOSHI BGC merchants, with each receipt redeemable for up to three items. This wrapping experience brings authentic Japanese tradition into holiday celebrations, adding charm and sophistication to family, friend, or office gift-giving. Beautifully wrapped gifts provide the perfect finishing touch to a season filled with sparkle.
