In order to realize Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan’s theme, “Designing Future Society for Our Lives,” the Expo will offer programs that a variety of people can participate in.
As part of these initiatives, the Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition, Osaka Prefecture, and the City of Osaka will begin recruiting volunteers in mid-January 2024. The volunteers will provide information about the Expo at major train stations, airports, and other locations in the city. They will also provide visitor support at the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion, for people from Japan and abroad, as well as visitors to the Expo site and the Osaka-Kansai region.
Prior to the recruitment, a dedicated volunteer website was launched on Wednesday, December 20, 2023.
