Osaka –
Debate is underway regarding how to carry on the legacy of the 2025 World Exposition in Osaka to ensure the event does not end up as a one-off success.
The expo was held over six months through Oct. 13 on Yumeshima, an artificial island in Osaka Bay. A total of 158 countries and regions and seven international organizations took part, along with numerous Japanese companies and local governments. Together, they showcased diverse cultures and traditions as well as cutting-edge technologies under the theme “Designing Future Society for Our Lives.”
The expo drew more than 25 million ticketed visitors and is expected to post a surplus of up to ¥37 billion.
