Nagoya Mitsukoshi turns LACHIC's ground floor into a 14-day Christmas market
Nagoya Mitsukoshi is filling the ground-floor passage of its LACHIC fashion building in Sakae with a Christmas market of small makers and vintage dealers from December 12 to 25, and keeping the building's illuminations lit until mid-February -- a reminder that in Japan, the pop-up calendar is the retail calendar.

Nagoya Mitsukoshi Co., Ltd. (名古屋三越), the Isetan Mitsukoshi Holdings group company that runs the LACHIC (ラシック) retail complex in Sakae, central Nagoya, said it will hold "FASCION | LACHIC CHRISTMAS MARKET 2026" on the building's first-floor passage from December 12 to 25 -- 14 days in all -- according to its November 10 announcement. The event name plays on "fashion" and "fasciation," a plant phenomenon in which growth fuses into a band shape, the company said.
