As the World Expo returns to vibrant Osaka after 55 years, Four Seasons Hotel Osaka welcomes travellers to connect with the spirit of this globally inspired, locally rooted event. Aligning with the Expo’s key themes, the recently-opened Hotel unveils a series of signature experiences that will run till October 13, 2025.

At the heart of the Expo lies a vision for a sustainable future, one where humanity coexists harmoniously with nature, embraces life’s rich diversity, and pioneers new values to shape the world ahead. In celebration of this global gathering, Four Seasons Hotel Osaka crafts extraordinary experiences that resonate with these ideals, offering guests a profound connection to the essence of innovation and co-creation that defines the World Expo.

A Confluence of Values
A global brand founded in 1960, Four Seasons is dedicated to creating exceptional moments that enrich life, foster a connection to local culture, and evoke an emotional response – a philosophy that resonates with the theme of this year’s World Expo in Osaka. The Expo’s core values of sustainability and diversity also mirror Four Seasons’ ongoing commitment to these goals, from sourcing local ingredients to embracing regional craftsmanship.

“Over the next six months, our team’s thoughtful offerings transform Four Seasons Hotel Osaka into something more than a hotel. Here, travellers will find a place where they can engage with the Expo’s visionary themes, in the company of like-minded guests from Japan and around the world,” shares General Manager Alastair McAlpine.

As the World Expo kicks off, the team shares a few highlights from the calendar.

Healthy Life, Sustainable Future: Zero-Waste Salads at Farine Bakery

Drawing inspiration from the Expo’s focus on sustainability, Farine turns unused breakfast ingredients and produce into delicious salad bowls. This eco-conscious project not only reduces food waste but also supports local communities, with a portion of revenues donated to Kodomo Shokudo, a non-profit working with children’s cafeterias across Japan.

Rice Education Journey for Kids

Inviting young guests to explore the relationship between food and life, this interactive experience is centred on the importance of rice in Japanese culture. The Hotel’s location in Dojima, a historic area where Japan’s first rice futures market was established, makes the journey even more meaningful. Kids learn about rice cultivation, make onigiri (rice balls) and share a special dinner with their parents, all designed to foster gratitude and strengthen family bonds.

Led by Bar Manager Andrei Marcu, the team reinforces their commitment to protecting the environment as well as the local economy, in alignment with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals.
