These events provide a forum for the exchange of opinions between Expo-related parties and the general public, and have given rise to a variety of projects. Starting in the spring of 2022, on July 18th of the same year, 1,000 days until the Expo, the event will be held simultaneously in two prefectures and four cities in the Kansai region. Currently, the event has been held approximately 75 times, mainly in Osaka and Kansai, from Aomori to Kagoshima, with a cumulative total of more than 5,100 people attending. In the future, we aim to further open bases and create a scene where excitement builds simultaneously, thereby fostering momentum from Kansai to the rest of the country and the world.
