Osaka–Kansai Expo 2025 After‑Event Attractions and Legacy Programs

The Osaka‑Kansai Expo, which ran from April 13 to October 13, 2025, continues to generate visitor interest through a range of post‑expo activities. Local media reported that a number of official stores and pop‑up shops remain open, offering souvenir items such as the popular "MyaMyaK" mascot goods. Additional attractions include free virtual‑reality tours via the "EXPO 2025 Virtual Expo – Flying Dream Island" app, and ongoing cultural events like music performances by Kobukuro and community festivals.

Organizers and Osaka Governor Yoshimura have highlighted the "expo legacy" strategy, which aims to preserve infrastructure, sustain new food venues, and keep the area’s tourism momentum alive. Several dining venues, night‑time pool spots, and regional specialty tours that were introduced for the expo are being extended into 2026, with new guides and souvenir recommendations released for visitors seeking after‑event experiences.
