Anticipating opportunities presented by Expo 2025 running from April to October 2025, the Osaka Convention & Tourism Bureau (OCTB) has partnered with Kansai Innovation Center (MUIC Kansai) to launch Tech Tours Kansai, a new platform to develop custom-tailored industrial tours.
The Tech Tours Kansai team can coordinate custom-tailored tours that accommodate any group’s needs and requests. They cover a wide range of the Kansai region’s prominent industries, such as gastronomy, traditional craftwork, manufacturing, next-generation energy development and more.
More than just industrial site visits, tours include visits to significant cultural properties, culinary experiences, first-hand experiences with traditional crafts, and more comprehensive offerings across the Kansai region.
The one-stop service will be able to manage every step of the travel itinerary, from pre-planning to follow-up, including accommodation, transportation, and dietary requests, as well as coordinating special excursions and spousal programmes.
Aside from OCTB and MUIC Kansai, Nippon Travel Agency, and Kinki Nippon Tourist, are also participating organisations.
Expo 2025 will be Japan’s first major post-Covid international event, offering an unprecedented opportunity to showcase Osaka and the Kansai region as a premier meeting and event destination.
