As Expo 2025 Osaka-Kansai prepares to welcome visitors with its innovative displays and immersive experiences, it’s worth noting that the excitement doesn’t stop when you leave. One of the best parts of attending an Expo is the unique souvenirs that capture the spirit of the event, and they make for perfect mementos to remember your time at this global celebration.

From snacks to plushies and even traditional artwork, these are some of the items that have been announced thus far.

Myakumyaku ten-gallon hat: 3,740 JPY

If you like wearing your event appreciation on your sleeve (or in this case, on your head) then the Myakumyaku ten-gallon hat is one option to liven up your Expo 2025 experience. Myakumyaku is the official event mascot, and can be found not just on apparel but on various other items—everything from mugs and water bottles to hand towels, lanyards, and a whole host of plush toys.

Midori Confectionery Myakumyaku Warabimochi and Castella cake: 1188 JPY

For visitors looking for a sweet treat with some local flair, try out the Myakumyaku Warabimochi and Castella cake from Midori Confectionery. They come individually wrapped so they’re great for sharing, and they incorporate flavors of strawberry and soda.

Myakumyaku x Gelato Pique clothing collaboration

Comfy loungewear is always a winner, and this Myakumyaku x Gelato Pique range is set to go on sale at Daimaru Matsuzakaya Department Stores to coincide with the Expo start date. As yet, prices for the pieces haven’t been announced, nor as to whether the items will also be available at the Expo itself, but information on Daimaru Matsuzakaya stores can be found online here.

Expo-limited Hi-Chew: Grape (left) 1296 JPY, Strawberry (right) 540 JPY

Chewy candy lovers, rejoice! The event will have Hi-Chew in classic grape and strawberry flavors but with a limited-time packaging option. We love the vibrant colors and fun design!

Hakuichi Tray with Traditional Paintings: 5500 JPY

If you’d appreciate something a little more traditionally Japanese, these beautiful trays from expert gold leaf manufacturers Hakuichi certainly fit the bill. Incorporating famous artworks like Hokusai’s “The Great Wave off Kanagawa” with some modern flair, they’d be great for storing small trinkets and jewelry items.

Gateau Festa Harada Gouter de Roi: 1296 JPY

Gateau Festa Harada got their start in Takasaki City, Gunma Prefecture, and their specialty product is the Gouter de Roi—a gateau rusk coated with butter and sugar. The Expo-limited product comes in a stylish tin package, which you could always upcycle after you were done. It’s a great way of linking in with the overall Expo concept and shaping a sustainable future!
