At the Expo 2025 PR corner, a space of approximately 150 m² is set up with (1) a miniature model of the Yumeshima Expo site, (2) a large screen area, (3) a Kansai Area PR space, and (4) message input area. The entire space displays the outline and attractions of Expo 2025.
In addition, the PR corner is positioned as “scene 6,” which is the closing point of the entire Japan Pavilion. The message entry area, which is the last section of the pavilion, allows each person to post their thoughts for future society and take their first step toward participation in Expo 2025. Messages can also be posted or checked on the special website “JUNKAN – Where ideas meet-” which was established on October 1, 2021, so that anyone from around the world can participate at any time.
The Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan PR corner has set up a special website called “JUNKAN – Where ideas meet-” to accept “challenges” faced by people around the world and “ideas” for solving them.
