Tom and Jerry Events
Tom and Jerry Special Photo Time Event
Tom and Jerry visit Osaka Station City on November 11 in honor of "Cheese Day." The event is held on the same day as the lighting ceremony.
- Date and time: Wednesday, November 11, 2026, from 4:00 PM (planned). The event is expected to last about 30 minutes.

November 11 is "Cheese Day." It was established in 1992 by the Cheese Promotion Council (チーズ普及協議会) and the Japan Imported Cheese Promotion Association (日本輸入チーズ普及協会). The oldest record confirming the existence of cheese in Japan dates back to the Asuka period, when it was called "so" (蘇). The first mention of "so" appears in a passage of the 右官史記, which records that period: "In October of the 4th year of Emperor Monmu (700 CE), Emperor Monmu dispatched envoys and had 'so' made." Because of this, November, which corresponds to the 10th month of the old calendar, and the 11th, an easy-to-remember repeated number, were chosen as "Cheese Day."
