The EXPO 2025 monument stands against the Water Plaza at the heart of the venue. This bold and iconic monument welcomes visitors from around the world and encourages them to encounter the unknown and create memories from this point.
Each letter is crafted using a specially designed typeface. The letters also resemble transformed Co-MYAKU creatures, which are organic life forms. The whole design looks radiant as if it is full of energy and vitality.

A large seated statue of MYAKU-MYAKU, bowing while sitting on its heels, welcomes visitors at the East Gate. This monument, embodying the spirit of warm hospitality, was inspired by Fukusuke dolls, which have long been cherished in Japan as lucky charms that bring happiness.
As well as its traditional Japanese welcoming style, the statue’s base and surrounding signage are also designed using Japanese-themed elements. It warmly embraces people from all around the world.

The tall standing statue of MYAKU-MYAKU with its arms wide open welcomes visitors arriving through the West Gate. This posture is called “Ring Touch Pose,” as the statue looks as if it reaches out its hand to touch the Grand Ring. With its body turned toward the Grand Ring and head half-looking back toward visitors, the statue expresses a warm message: “Welcome to the Grand Ring!”
This is a perfect place for taking pictures to remember. Try recreating MYAKU-MYAKU’s pose and capturing the exciting atmosphere that fills the venue.

These unique banner flags are designed based on a design element, called “WORLD,” in the EXPO 2025 Design System. Fluttering in the wind, they carry the message, “Every life is unique and diverse.”
As the flags are color-coded, corresponding with the venue maps and signage design, visitors can intuitively understand which area they’re in by looking at the color of the flags. As the wind moves the flags, they not only navigate visitors but also breathe life into the venue.

In the EXPO 2025 Design System, a symbolic design element, called “WORLD,” expresses a future ecosystem where diverse lives blend and resonate together. These four kinds of 2.5-dimensional monuments are created by using the “WORLD” design element and giving it a physical form.
As these monuments are installed across the venue as photo spots, visitors can take pictures, posing in front of, behind, or among them. Visitors may feel as if they too become part of the design system, experiencing firsthand the open design that expands through co-creation and participation.

In the EXPO 2025 Design System, a design element, called “GROUP,” symbolizes a community where diverse lives come together to co-create the future.
Visitors from across the world come to these three-dimensionally shaped cell-like forms and curious spongy ground. They can then sense how the co-creation in the future society feels.

This large, soft playground equipment is inspired by an eye-like cell appearing in the EXPO 2025 Design System. As it is made from cushiony materials, everyone is welcome to play on this, climbing up and bouncing on it.
In this playful space, everyone can feel both excitement and the rhythm of life.

The designs of these fence covers are generated based on one of the EXPO 2025 Design System’s design elements, called “WORLD.” As these patterned graphic designs don’t contain cell elements, the abstract, character-free flags harmonize with the space while creating a visual impact.
These flags function as partition covers while adding decoration and rhythm to the venue.

Belt barriers are used to organize lines or guide crowds. These belt barriers at the EXPO venue are designed based on one of the EXPO 2025 Design System’s design elements, called “WORLD.” By extracting the core part of the graphic design and repeating the pattern, these practical barriers with visual consistency are created to add vibrancy and harmony to the venue.
