What kind of "Expo" will be held in Sasari, a village of about 10 people in Miyama-cho, Nantan City, Kyoto Prefecture? Sasari Expo, where you can experience the charm of mountain villages and rich forests, will be held on June 21st and 22nd, 2025. There will be talks by local elders, a blind acupuncturist, and a nature observation expert, as well as night and morning walks when animals are active. The future of depopulated areas will be considered from the perspective of "designing a future society where life shines," just like the Osaka-Kansai Expo.
