and you can found many many Christmas trees here and there.
I found beautiful scenery.
Most Japanese think Christmas as a celebration of Christianity.On the other hand, many Japanese are technically Buddhist.
But most people are far from religious.
So we don't care about what Christmas is.
In Japan, Christmas day is not a holiday.
In fact, 23th Dec is public holiday because it's The Emperor's Birthday.
But these illuminations are not for Emperor, definitely.
We just like some of the happy ideas associated with Christmas like Santa Claus, Christmas trees, cake, music, presents and so on.
Here is west-Umeda area in Osaka city.
A big glittering Christmas tree is set up.
