Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, featured participation from 158 countries and regions, creating opportunities for people to engage with diverse cultures and lifestyles. Such cross-cultural experiences challenge our values and broaden our horizons, serving as a catalyst to re-examine our own cultural identities. Carrying forward this spirit, "VERY ASIA" promotes the rediscovery of urban culture through cultural exchange with various Asian cities. In 2026, we focus on Chiang Mai, Thailand—a city where historic temples and traditional crafts flourish. By bringing diverse expressions such as night markets, video, and music to the public spaces of JR Osaka Station, we create a place where different cultures intersect.
