2025 Osaka Hikari no Kyoen<\/h2>\n

 <\/p>\n

The “Osaka Hikari no Kyoen<\/span>” is typically held from November to December for about two months. However, to coincide with “Expo 2025 Osaka,” which takes place from April 13 to October 13, 2025, the event’s schedule has been brought forward by seven months. Some illuminations started as early as April 9, 2025<\/span>.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

However, the official period for “2025 Osaka Hikari no Kyoen<\/span>” begins on November 3, 2025<\/span>, and ends on January 31, 2026<\/span>, spanning 90 days. The main part of the event concludes at the end of the year (i.e., December 31, 2025), and the key highlight, the “mapping projection” show, is only scheduled for about two weeks in mid-December.<\/p>\n

The “Osaka Hikari no Kyoen<\/span>” primarily consists of two core programs: \u3010Midosuji Illumination<\/span><\/a>\u3011 and \u3010OSAKA Hikari no Renaissance<\/span><\/a>\u3011 (Osaka Light Renaissance).<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

This year’s early “Osaka Hikari no Kyoen 2025 Expo Special Lighting<\/span>” mainly features the “Midosuji Illumination.” For the “Osaka Light Renaissance,” only the Nakanoshima Illumination Street and the Osaka City Hall building facade illuminations are held early. The main attraction of “Osaka Light Renaissance,” the mapping projection show, will not occur until after mid-December.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The opening ceremony for “Osaka Hikari no Kyoen 2025<\/span>” will be held on November 3, 2025, from 17:00 to 19:00 on Midosuji Boulevard. A section of the road from the Yodoyabashi intersection to the Semba Chuo 3 intersection will be designated as a pedestrian zone for visitors to enjoy the lights.<\/p>\n\"Osaka<\/picture>\n
