VIRTUAL EXPO~YUMESHIMA ISLANDS IN THE SKY~ is the virtual site of Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan. Visitors can immerse themselves in the world of the Expo as avatars, navigating pavilions and event facilities that are reproductions of actual buildings, while enjoying unique exhibitions and events developed by each exhibitorーexperiences that are only possible in the virtual world. Look forward to a six-month journey where you will travel with people from all over the world and explore a future society for our lives.
The concept of the virtual site is Yumeshima Islands In the Sky.
