Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025 legacy and anniversary events

Overview

Following the conclusion of the Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025, organizers and local officials have implemented an ‘expo legacy’ strategy to maintain tourism momentum and preserve infrastructure. Initial post-event efforts focused on extending dining venues, regional tours, and offering virtual-reality experiences through mobile applications, alongside the continued sale of official merchandise.

To mark the first anniversary of the Expo’s closing, a series of memorial events titled ‘1st Anniversary EXPO 2025 — Reliving that Surprise and Emotion Again @ Osaka Kitena!’ is scheduled for October 2026. These celebrations include the ‘EXPO Reborn!’ program featuring various exhibits and musical performances, as well as the ‘EXPO Beat Jam’ at Universal Studios Japan, which aims to reunite artists who participated in the original event.
