While a KFC bucket of wings and some strawberry cake may be a Japanese way to spend Christmas, there are plenty of opportunities to enjoy a more spiritual experience.

Attending a Christmas mass or service can be especially comforting for those who are homesick, and Tokyo is home to multiple churches that offer multilingual sermons.

The Tokyo Union Church (www.tokyounion.org) is an ecumenical congregation located in Shibuya Ward that will hold services on both Dec. 24 and 25. And Central Bible Church (www.chuo-seisho.org) in Toshima Ward will host a prayer service with an English interpretation on Dec. 20, a gospel service on Dec. 23 and a candle service on Dec. 24.
