Welcome to Osaka Castle Illuminage 2023

Osaka Castle, with its rich history and cultural significance, serves as the backdrop for a grand spectacle of lights. The Osaka Castle Illuminage 2023 event will showcase approximately 3.5 million lights, depicting scenes from the Sengoku period to the present day. The illuminations, which highlight the history of Osaka Castle and recreate famous tourist spots in Osaka, promise to offer a vibrant and immersive experience.

Highlights of the Event

This year, the spotlight is on the helmet illuminations. Unique designs of water buffaloes, hoes, dragons, and helmets, which were displayed inside the castle tower during the summer, will be featured in Japan's first-ever helmet illumination. These illuminations, based on rare helmets that actually exist, offer a new genre of light and design. In addition, LED neon illuminations characteristic of Osaka will also make their appearance. The Tsutenkaku Tower, which had an amusement park attached to it in the past, may not be familiar to everyone, but it allows you to feel the retro ambiance of old Osaka. Landscape illuminations of places like Dotonbori highlight the charm of Osaka with vivid lights that color the night garden.

Interactive Fun

There are also plenty of participatory fun elements. With the latest technology, panels that sense the movement of the person standing in front of them and move the lights accordingly will be introduced. A giant piano that makes a light sound when pressed, LED steps that change color when stepped on, and a glowing seesaw that was very popular last year can also be enjoyed.

Conclusion

We invite you to visit Osaka Castle Illuminage with your loved ones this year and spend a special winter time. We look forward to welcoming you.
