2026 Cherry Blossom Festival - Winter - Osakasayama Illumination

About this event

Held at the Sayamaike North Embankment in Osakasayama City, the 2026 Cherry Blossom Festival - Winter - Osakasayama Illumination features an approximately 4-meter-tall Christmas tree and illuminated wooden bridges that create an enchanting space. Continuing from last year, experiential hands-on illuminations to touch and play with, such as seesaws and sound stones, will also appear to delight visitors. On the first day of the event, an original lantern making workshop (free participation, no prior reservation required) will be held from 15:00, and although quantities are limited, participants can take their crafted lanterns to join the Santa Walk (scheduled from 17:10). Afterward, during the lighting ceremony scheduled from 17:40, the illuminations will be turned on simultaneously with a countdown, coloring the winter night. In this event, rows of cherry blossom trees at Sayamaike are decorated and illuminated with LEDs, allowing visitors to enjoy a special scenery of light as winter cherry blossoms. The Christmas tree and Sayarin & Snowman illuminations will also appear, delivering a modest cheer of light amidst the clear winter air.
