Since the event was held on December 3rd in Nishi-Umeda, I went there to learn more about the event.

Many people came to see the event in Nishi-Umeda on that day.

Countless candles are placed in various locations along streets in Nishi-Umeda.
The very presence of the candles themselves made the whole town very romantic.

The lights at participating shopping malls and offices were also turned off for two hours from 8 p.m., which made the candlelight even more beautiful to see.

It was so wonderful to see the whole town cooperate as such for this event.
