The "Festival of the Lights in OSAKA," which beautifully and fantastically illuminates the night of Osaka, is an event that has two core programs: the "Midosuji Illumination" on Midosuji, Osaka's main street, and the "Osaka Hikari-Renaissance" in the Nakanoshima, the symbol of the city’s waterways.

With the theme of "A Symbol Street of Light Connecting to a Shining Future," this year also colors the total length of about 4km from Umeda to Namba with overwhelming light.

In January 2015, Midosuji Illumination was recognized as a world record for "the street with the most illuminations on street trees."

    In a word, beautiful!
    It has a totally different vibe compared to the glitz of Roppongi in Tokyo.

  • 李祥青

    Osaka is the most beautiful city in Kansai during winter! The Midosuji Illumination is stunning. I visited before, and the trees along Midosuji were decorated with lights. The ginkgo trees turned the whole street yellow, blending perfectly with the sparkling lights. It was truly unforgettable.
