<p>Cute snowmen are everyone's favorite!</p>

<p>I wonder if they are expressing shooting stars in the clear winter sky?</p>

<p>Grand Front Osaka is also in Christmas colors!</p>

<p>Tents and tables are being placed on the walkway for the Christmas season. What a nice atmosphere!</p>

<p>Adding bit of snow would make it more romantic, but sadly we don't have much snow in Osaka</p>

On November 27th, I dropped by at Toki-no Hiroba Plaza on the third floor of Osaka Station City and Umekita Hiroba, which is located in front of Grand Front Osaka, to take photos of Christmas illuminations.

In the time period before Christmas and New Year, these open spaces will be illuminated on themes which change annually. This year's theme for Toki-no Hiroba Plaza is 'Twilight Fantasy - Shining Sea of Time '. This plaza is used for various purposes such as meeting up with friends after work, etc. At Umekita Hiroba, various events are also being held.
