GREEN×EXPO 2027 Villages
Here’s an overview of what each Village will feature.
*On smartphones, tap the image three times to play.*
At Expo 2025 Osaka–Kansai, the venues were called “pavilions.” But at GREEN×EXPO 2027, the goal isn’t to create experiences inside a single building—instead, the Expo creates themed “towns” or “areas” as a whole.
A collection of multiple exhibits, gardens, and hands-on experiences is called a **Village**.
For now, what’s been announced is mainly the exterior designs and themes—whether it’s more “watch-and-learn” or “hands-on.” As more details are revealed, this article will be updated.
“KT Group Exhibition Hall” — KT Group
This Village focuses on the theme of **vehicles delivering “energy” to the right place at the right time**.
The building looks like it’s made from modular, movable units assembled together.
What is the KT Group?
It consists of 13 Toyota Group companies in Kanagawa Prefecture, including Kanagawa Toyota.
Kanagawa Toyota Motor Co., Ltd.
Toyota Rent a Lease Kanagawa Co., Ltd.
Toyota L&F Kanagawa Co., Ltd.
Kanagawa Toyota Trading Co., Ltd.
“NTT EAST” — NTT East (Nippon Telegraph and Telephone East Corporation)
This is a hands-on Village.
It presents a vision of a **well-being society** where **industry, nature, and culture** exist in harmony—where happiness circulates.
Going beyond the boundaries of telecom and digital services, the concept is about connecting people to people, and regions to regions. Those connections continue to circulate—and that circulation becomes a “well-being society” where happiness keeps moving forward.
The exterior design expresses a society where people and nature coexist.
Well-being has become an increasingly important keyword—and it’s likely to keep gaining attention.
“Mitsubishi Minna no Mirai Pavilion” — Mitsubishi International Horticultural Expo General Committee
“Mitsubishi Minna no Mirai Pavilion” invites visitors to rediscover—enjoyably—the importance of **coexistence between nature, people, and society**.
Its theme is **“Connecting Together for a Richer Earth.”**
The exhibition is designed so that each visitor can re-affirm the importance of thinking and acting together on the topic of **future urbanization and coexistence with nature**.
The word “Minna no” (“everyone’s”) was added to reflect the meaning: **“Creating a happier tomorrow together.”**
Following Expo 2025 Osaka–Kansai, Mitsubishi will also exhibit at GREEN×EXPO 2027. They have exhibited at every World Expo held in Japan.

“KAJIMA TREE” — Kajima Corporation
“KAJIMA TREE” tells a story of tomorrow—connecting people and nature to the future.
It delivers a new landscape concept for future city-building.
The timber used in the Grand Roof Ring (made famous at Expo 2025 Osaka–Kansai) will be reborn through advanced technology.
This “tree” will become a symbol of GREEN×EXPO 2027.
The Grand Roof Ring that fascinated visitors in Osaka will return in a different form at GREEN×EXPO 2027.
TOHO-LEO Co., Ltd.
In the studio, TOHO-LEO will reuse lighting, mist systems, and more from Expo 2025 Osaka–Kansai: Panasonic Pavilion (The Land of Nomo).
Reused items include:
・Facade (iron frames, approx. 736 pieces)
・Lighting (40 units)
・Speakers (12 units)
・Mist equipment
They will collaborate beyond traditional exhibitor boundaries—bringing together companies and artists.
“Takenaka Village” — Takenaka Group
“Takenaka Village” accelerates **decarbonization, natural cycles, and nature-positive coexistence**.
Aiming for a regenerative approach, it seeks to help realize a richer society.
Visitors can enjoy the experience while physically sensing natural circulation.
Sumitomo Forestry Co., Ltd.
A second-floor deck space connects multiple areas, offering views of trees.
The Village features a variety of exhibits on forests, wood, plants, and their relationship with society.
In a space that feels like walking through a forest, what hints about the future might you discover through hands-on experiences?
It’s designed to spark new awareness of diverse forms of life.
Obayashi Corporation
Obayashi defines the ideal vision for 2050 as a world where **Earth, society, and people** are in harmony.
It presents two “countries” as its setting:
* A country that built an ideal city coexisting with nature
* A country where daily life with space has become normal
Through these worlds, the Village aims to sustain natural, comfortable happiness.
Area: **Urban GX Village**

null²? — Produced by Yoichi Ochiai
At the GREEN×EXPO 2027 Symposium held on **November 28, 2025**, it was revealed that Yoichi Ochiai had been considering exhibiting at GREEN×EXPO 2027.
According to the Expo Association, land has also been secured.
Ochiai is also known for the “null² relocation project.” Could GREEN×EXPO 2027 become its new home?
An official announcement will be made later by the Expo Association.

Theme Pavilion
**“Discover the astonishing mechanisms of nature.”**
Plants have extraordinary networks. Using cutting-edge visual technology, these networks will be made “visible.”
The space itself becomes an artwork—an installation-style exhibition with objects and devices placed throughout.
You’ll be able to feel the interconnectedness of all life, and experience ways nature can be used to tackle environmental challenges.
In the concept video, guests walk through a giant picture book—each step revealing the story ahead. It feels exciting, almost like a Tokyo Disneyland attraction.
The “Miracle Pine” roots section introduces underground networks created between plants and fungi.
Government Pavilion
**“Rethink Japan’s view of nature, and move forward into the future.”**
A Japanese garden experience: stroll through beautiful landscapes and immerse yourself in cutting-edge visual storytelling that portrays how people and nature weave life together.
As you encounter today’s satoyama (rural woodlands) and satoumi (coastal living landscapes), why not reflect on the future of our planet?
Horticultural Culture Exhibition
Horticultural plants passed down from the Edo period to today—displayed at an unprecedented scale with real specimens.
This exhibition explores the relationship between Japanese people and flowers/greenery.
Reuse from the Expo 2025 Osaka–Kansai Women’s Pavilion
A three-dimensional lattice, geometric structure (a kumiko-style facade) will be reused as the facade of an indoor exhibition facility (tentative).
It was used at the Japan Pavilion for Expo 2020 Dubai, then at Expo 2025 Osaka–Kansai, and now continues to GREEN×EXPO 2027—realizing a continuous commitment to sustainability.
