Official announcements and our take
All newsWe cover announcements from the organiser, the government, Kanagawa Prefecture and Yokohama City, and keep what was announced separate from our take and our tips for visitors.
LET'S EXPO wheelchair and mobility help at the expo: bookings open 19 January 2027
Our take: You can now see when to book a volunteer to push a wheelchair or guide a visually impaired visitor around the expo grounds: from 19 January 2027, four months after entry and shuttle-bus reservations opened. Fees and daily capacity have not been announced.

AEON becomes a Platinum Partner: Expo ads on screens in about 250 stores and in about 100 AEON Cinemas
Our take: AEON is the fourth Platinum Partner of the awareness-building project we know of, after the Osada advertising group, Keikyu and JTB, and it adds shop floors and cinemas to the places where the Expo is advertised. Events at AEON Mall are planned, but the malls and dates have not been announced.

Mitsubishi Heavy Industries donates about 20,000 Expo tickets to Sagamihara, Yamato and Hitachi
Our take: The number is the same as for Expo 2025 Osaka, about 20,000, but the tickets now go to three cities instead of about 20 municipalities. Last time they were child tickets handed out through local boards of education; this release does not say what type of ticket it is or how residents will receive one.

Refill your bottle at Expo 2025 Osaka water stations: Sutehaji EXPO 2026 at Pia Arena MM on 5 November
Our take: It is on a weekday, but entry is free and the Association's head of PR speaks from 15:35. The organiser says information on drinking water at the GREEN×EXPO 2027 venue will be presented, so there may be news on the refill stations, whose number and locations were not given in September.

Our take: By the city's own press list, this is the 29th sponsorship of the city pavilion since Tokyo Gas on 21 July. It is the second exhibit that generates power at a window, after YKK AP's solar inner window in August; this time the power comes from a screen pulled down inside the window, not from the glass.
