Osaka-Kansai Expo Marks One-Year Closing Anniversary With Three Days of Events

Article

One year after the lights went out on the Osaka-Kansai Expo, Osaka is bringing some of it back for three days.

Three Days, Two Venues

"1st Anniversary EXPO 2025" runs October 11-13, 2026. "EXPO Reborn! — Re-experiencing the Future, Food, and Culture" takes place at ATC Hall on October 11 (10 AM-7 PM) and October 12 (10 AM-4 PM). "EXPO Beat Jam" follows on October 13 at Universal Studios Japan.

What Each Event Offers

EXPO Reborn! brings back exhibition and experience programs plus stage content themed around the Expo's future/food/culture pillars. EXPO Beat Jam reunites artists who performed during the original Expo for a concert-style event at USJ.

Free, But Reserve Ahead

Entry to ATC Hall requires advance application through a lottery system; both admission and program participation are free of charge.

What To Know

For anyone who missed the original 2025 Expo, or wants one more chance to relive it, this is a rare, free, lottery-based opportunity before the memory fades.

ATC (Asia and Pacific Trade Center) sits on Osaka's waterfront near the original Expo site, making it a natural venue for an event built around revisiting the Expo's legacy.
