OSAKA Satellite EXPO 2025: A Cultural Celebration in Osaka

The OSAKA Satellite EXPO 2025 is set to take place across four key areas in Osaka, namely Umeda, Shinsaibashi, and Osaka Castle, from July 1 to October 31, 2025. Organized by OUGI Co., Ltd, which specializes in inbound premium tourism, this vibrant festival promises an immersive experience of Japanese culture through the five senses.

Event Highlights

In addition to the series of events already planned, three new exciting additions have been announced:
1. Opening Event
2. Mirai Sketch Park
3. KOSÉ Beauty Event

Opening Event Details

The event kicks off with the OSAKA Satellite EXPO 2025 Opening Event, scheduled from July 1 to July 4, 2025, at the Atrium Square on the 2nd floor of JR Osaka Station. Participants can receive a special Happy Happi, a traditional garment, that provides discounts at select stores. This launch will also showcase a variety of other engaging activities planned for the festival.

Mirai Sketch Park

At the Mirai Sketch Park, located on the 5th floor of JR Osaka Station (Toki no Hiroba), families can enjoy creating digital art using Wacom’s liquid crystal tablets. Participants will unleash their creativity to produce unique digital art pieces based on given themes, which will then be displayed on a large approximately 40-inch screen, adding a delightful visual augmentation to the space.

KOSÉ Beauty Event

Shinsaibashi Parco's B1 special venue will host the KOSÉ Beauty Event, where attendees can experience the refreshing summer skincare treatment, “Hiyayushi Sekkisei”, using KOSÉ's flagship skincare brand. Those who participate will receive either a KOSÉ-branded Happy Happi or a fan. Wearing the Happy Happi or carrying the fan allows for exclusive offers at partner stores within the Shinsaibashi Parco.

Additionally, attending participants will receive promotional material that grants them two unique benefits, such as skincare product samples and a chance to win original gifts through compliant shopping at partner stores in the vicinity.

Commitment to Cultural Experience

The OSAKA Satellite EXPO is designed to promote cultural immersion, allowing both local and international visitors to indulge in the charm of Japanese tradition. Anticipating an influx of around 28.2 million visitors during the Osaka-Kansai Expo 2025, the expo is strategically crafted to keep this vibrant atmosphere alive beyond the event itself.

The festival intends to engage both domestic and overseas tourists, encouraging repeat visits to Japan by showcasing the beauty of Japanese culture through interactive experiences.
