Easter Sunday comes early this year, falling on March 31. While Japan’s population is primarily Buddhist, there is no shortage of Easter-themed sweets sold at bakeries and patisseries throughout the capital. Traditionally Western Easter activities like Easter egg hunts are still difficult to come by, but Tokyo’s obsession with all things kawaii does not disappoint when it comes to celebrating the Easter bunny. In this list, we’ve rounded up our favorite places to buy festive Easter treats in Tokyo 2024.
