Festival of the lights in OSAKA consists of the core program in which Midosuji Avenue and Nakanoshima are colored with lights, as well as area programs that take advantage of the appeal of various places in Osaka Prefecture.

Core Programs

Midosuji Avenue, Osaka’s artery, and Nakanoshima, the symbol of Aqua Metropolis Osaka, radiate brilliantly to welcome people from all over the world.

Midosuji Illumination 2019

Midosuji Avenue is Osaka’s symbolic street. The section from Umeda to Namba glimmers with illumination, gently enveloping people with light on a 4 km long world-class light trail. It was recognized as a world record in January 2015.

Focusing on artworks of light, OSAKA Hikari-Renaissance, which is now on its 17th year, in collaboration with Osaka City Central Public Hall, which celebrated its 100th anniversary last year, is enhancing the program of light that takes advantage of the waterside landscape of Nakanoshima, the symbol of Aqua Metropolis Osaka.
