Why You Should Visit

A new Christmas market that runs every evening from December 11 to 25 between the Rose Garden and the Lawn Plaza of Nakanoshima Park in central Osaka. Built around art, craft, fashion and music, it brings together a signature art installation, fashion and craft picks from across Japan, carefully chosen food and drinks, and music and talk programs. It is produced by the team behind the art festival MEET YOUR ART and runs alongside OSAKA Hikari-Renaissance 2026 in the same Nakanoshima area, so the two are easy to combine on an evening walk or a Christmas date. Free entry, no booking needed.

FAQ

Is there an entry fee or do I need to book?

Entry is free and no advance registration is needed. You only pay for food, drinks or goods you buy at the stalls.

Is this separate from OSAKA Hikari-Renaissance?

It is a separate event, but it runs over the same dates, December 11–25, in the Nakanoshima area. Both are around Nakanoshima Park, so you can walk between them.
