[Fair] Japanese Culture Salon for EXPO

In addition to appreciating the exhibits at the 2025 Osaka Kansai Expo,

The goal is to share challenges and solutions from around the world.

Participants are not only from their own country,

We need to see global problems as our own problems.

But for us,

Turning our consciousness to the world is no easy task.

One could even say that this is a quantum leap.

So, as people living in the host country, let us first get to know Japan.

And in 2025, we will be the ones to welcome people from all over the world to Kansai.

Let's grow together so that we can provide hospitality and communication.

First of all, I would like to start by learning about the beauty of the culture that is rooted in our own country.

"All participants will become presenters at the Expo." That is the goal of this project.
