Osaka Tenshiba Christmas Market fills the lawn of Tennoji Park with stalls selling Glühwein, German beer and food, Christmas sweets and goods, with live music and workshops on some days. It is next to Tennoji Station and Abeno Harukas. Admission is free.
Background
The market is supported by the German Consulate General in Osaka-Kobe, the German National Tourist Office, Tennoji Ward and the Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau. It filled the gap left in Osaka after the long-running German Christmas Market at Umeda Sky Building was discontinued. The 2026 edition was announced on September 5, 2026.
Getting there
A short walk from Tennoji Station (Osaka Metro Midosuji/Tanimachi lines and JR), Osaka-Abenobashi Station (Kintetsu) and Tennoji-ekimae Station (Hankai Uemachi Line).
