Time Out says

Osaka’s main and most famous thoroughfare, the tree-lined Midosuji stretches from Umeda to Namba. The 4km-long Light Path comes aglow from 5pm until 1am, with the illuminations continuing until December 31. 

The entire stretch is divided into seven coloured zones, each highlighting a different aspect of the city. Notably, the Minami area has unveiled a new colour for the first time in five years.

At one end of Midosuji, the lights at Umeda Ventilation Tower feature a shifting gradient effect, while eight buildings along the avenue are also illuminated to create an immersive streetscape after dark.
