More than six months after the 2025 Osaka Expo closed, buildings, artworks, construction materials and equipment from the venue are being repurposed in communities across the country.

The Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition accepted applications for the transfer of such resources, either for a fee or free of charge, in an effort to match supply with demand.

In line with its principle of a sustainable expo, the association hopes to encourage the effective reuse of materials and assets from the event. The initiative is also expected to help support regional revitalization in many parts of Japan.
