About This Event / イベントについて

Each winter, the Dotonbori canal-side takes on a festive glow. The famous Glico running man sign — already an Osaka icon — is joined by Christmas-themed light installations along the promenade, with the neon reflections doubled on the canal water.

It's a free, outdoor display best enjoyed as a slow evening walk from Ebisu Bridge toward Tazaemon Bridge. The area stays lively late, with the district's restaurants and bars offering Christmas menus through December 25.
