Don’t want to commit to a New Year’s Eve plan just yet? No problem. Viva Countdown Carnival 2025–2026 at the Lively Osaka Honmachi lets you just rock up and join the fun, with free entry and no reservation required.
For this Latin-themed New Year’s celebration, the hotel’s first-floor lounge will be transformed into a Brazilian carnival-inspired space. Three DJs will be on the decks all night, spinning high-octane baile funk and hip-swaying samba to keep the party going.
There will also be dance shows by three performers including Erica, who regularly takes part in Rio de Janeiro’s Carnival. Her team, the Copacabana Samba Team, even won the Rio Carnival in 2025.
To match the theme, the bar will serve special Latin-inspired drinks for the evening, including, of course, Brazil’s signature caipirinha.
