OSAKA--A large-scale projection mapping themed on natural phenomena, including falling snow, aurora and diamond dust, is being shown at the observation deck of the Abeno Harukas skyscraper.

The event is offered from sunset to 9:40 p.m. It runs until March 31.
Admission to the observation deck is 1,500 yen ($13.70) for adults, 1,200 yen for junior and senior high school students, 700 yen for elementary school students, 500 yen for preschoolers and free for children aged 3 or younger.
