Located beside the Unesco World Heritage–listed Nintoku-Tenno-Ryo Tumulus, Daisen Park has been transformed into a fantastical winter nightscape by the multidisciplinary creative collective NAKED. From sundown until 9pm, you can wander the park’s expansive lawns and enjoy projection mapping and atmospheric illuminations.
Daisen Night Balloon Festa runs for just four days until Christmas, and it’s free to visit. You’ll also find food trucks within the vicinity. However, the two nearby concurrent events – Osaka Sakai Balloon: Special Night Flights and Special Winter Night Opening: Japanese Light Nights – require separate admission tickets.
