Why You Should Visit

A large-scale event carrying on from the Kurage Pavilion, a signature pavilion of Expo 2025 Osaka Kansai. At ATC Hall, participatory stages — the KURAGE Band, Noh theatre by Yamamoto Noh Theater, a fashion show — sit alongside craft and art workshops, talks on international collaboration, and food from around the world. Two days that try to carry the atmosphere of the Expo forward.
