In past years, this space in front of the Yamakataya department store has hosted a little Santa's house, games, food stalls, live music and gift shopping. This year, all they have is a table for picking up Christmas cake pre-orders. This photo was taken on the 25th. Turnout looks pretty disappointing.
The sign nearby directs parents to "Santa Photo spots". No Santas, just children's drawings of him you can take your photo next to. It's been a pretty sad year all-around.
