“Practically every day is a National Day or a Special Day”

Practically every day is a National Day or a Special Day

What are National Days and Special Days?

During the Expo, countries, regions and international organisations that officially participate in the Expo, known as “Official Participants”, will hold a National Day (for countries/regions) or a Special Day (for international organisations) on a designated day.
National Days and Special Days are days to honour the participation of the Official Participants. They will be held to deepen the understanding of the culture of the Official Participants and to contribute to the promotion of international goodwill.
On these days, distinguished guests from Japan and abroad as well as general visitors will be invited by the Official Participants to attend the ceremonies and cultural events, allowing them to experience and enjoy diverse cultures and traditions.

EXPO SAUNA ‘TAIYO’s TSUBOMI’

©‘TAIYO’s TSUBOMI’ Project Team

Scheduled to be held daily at Future Life Zone at the Expo Venue

This sauna provides a completely new ‘co-creation’ space that embodies a ‘soft and warm’ future society, where the space covered with ETFE film* membrane material that transmits natural light is beautifully illuminated by LEDs and harmonises with the nature of Osaka Bay, which changes with the seasons and time.
*ETFE film: high-performance fluoropolymer rolled into film form. It is attracting attention as a material that can replace glass for new architectural expression.
*The schedule of the event may be changed suddenly due to maintenance of the sauna room.

*Note: The above three are currently preliminary plans for the main events (proposals). Details will be announced separately.
*Event content is subject to change.
