AWAJI CITY, HYOGO PREFECTURE, JAPAN, July 11, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Pasona Group Inc., official Pavilion Partner of Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan, has launched the "AWAJI EXPO ROAD" project, holding events throughout the duration of Expo 2025 on Awaji Island (Hyogo Prefecture, Japan) to share Japanese culture and opportunities for cultural exchange with international visitors drawn to the Kansai region for Expo 2025.

As part of this initiative, the event “OMATSURI EXPO” will be held from Saturday, July 19 to Monday, July 21 at Awaji Yumebutai Sustainable Park. The event will spotlight Japanese traditional “matsuri” (festival) and performance cultures across different regions of Japan. Live stage performances of Japanese yosakoi dancing, taiko drumming, "awa odori" dancing, and even Japanese-style cheerleading ("oendan") will be held. In addition to live performances, food booths with local specialties and exhibits by local governments and organizations will be present.

At Expo 1970 Osaka, the "Festival Plaza" beneath the iconic Tower of the Sun served as a vibrant gathering place with a diverse array of global performances and cultural exchange events. The organizers of OMATSURI EXPO have expressed the desire to continue this legacy, by highlighting the richness and diversity of Japanese culture across Japan to both domestic and international travelers.
