Tokio Marine & Nichido Fire Insurance Co., Ltd.’s Tokushima Branch has generously donated admission tickets for the Osaka-Kansai Expo. These tickets will be distributed to universities and technical colleges in Tokushima Prefecture, allowing the next generation of students to experience the Expo.
At the upcoming Osaka-Kansai Expo this April, Tokushima Prefecture will not only present a “Tokushima Booth,” but also promote the entire prefecture as a pavilion through the “Tokushima Marugoto Pavilion” initiative, encouraging visitors to explore the region. This initiative is driven in collaboration with local communities who are actively showcasing Tokushima’s appeal.
As the fourth installment of the Tokushima Marugoto Pavilion Special Exhibit at the Tokushima Prefectural Government Office, the RPG “Tsurugi Town RPG Tsurugisuta” is now on display. Come check it out!

We took part in the Tokushima Odori Festa and Tokushima Festival, held around Tokushima Station on November 30 and December 1!
Myakumyaku and Sudachi-kun joined forces to appear at the opening ceremony and interact with visitors throughout the event.
At the Expo PR booth during the Tokushima Festival, children got to experience “ornament making,” where they wrote their hopes, wishes, and drawings for the Expo on cards and decorated a Christmas tree. Thanks to their creativity, the tree was beautifully transformed!
Some of these handmade ornaments are also planned to be displayed at the Expo venue.
The Expo is coming! Let’s go, Tokushima!
