✨Midosuji Illumination - Festival of Lights: Dazzling Future
The first recommendation is the Midosuji Illumination, which has been held for many years and was selected for the Guinness World Records in 2015. It is large in scale and long in route, and it is suitable to see the lights after shopping and dining, lasting until Christmas/New Year!
The lights on both sides of the road are dazzling, which is so romantic.
🎆Different light colors are designed according to specific themes, including pink, gold, white, blue, etc.
The whole journey is more than 4 km, and it takes an hour to walk through, but the changes in each section are not big, so you can just take pictures at a few places. I personally walked from Shinsaibashi to Honmachi Station, and the lights were purple.
