Thank you from the Sumitomo Pavilion

Hello from the Sumitomo Pavilion.

Since its opening on April 13, 2025, the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan was held over 184 days and has come to a close today, October 13.

The Sumitomo Pavilion welcomed many visitors from Japan and around the world, sharing moments to reflect on the coexistence between people and forests, and to nurture hope for the future. For all of us in the Sumitomo Group, these were truly irreplaceable days.

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who visited and to all who supported the Sumitomo Pavilion.

In preparing for Expo 2025, we carried with us a strong resolve: to bring together the wisdom, technology, and talent cultivated throughout the history of the Sumitomo Group, to take on social challenges through the collective strength of the Group, and to create a place where people can gather and share dreams through exhibitions and entertainment that move hearts, inspire change, and spark hope for the future. But this is not the end—this is where the next chapter begins.

May our paths cross again, beneath the same sky, toward the future.

Toward a future from the forest.
