Christmas trees are usually used inddors, however, young people are now tending to display them outdoors as well. Generally, Christmas goods have been purchased largely by young people to date. Although, as Japanese society is rapidly aging, it will be necessary to target these products at elder generations. Few Japanese manufacturers have overseas factories. Usually, they buy overseas products suited to the Japanese market, or request overseas manufacturers to make the products on an Original Equipment Manufacturing basis.
Some Japanese makers buy parts from overseas and complete the products in Japan.
Christmas articles are sold at various places such as department stores, speciality stores, toy shops and mail-order houses.
