Capsule bedrooms, transport tunnels: Kids offer disaster mitigation ideas at Osaka Expo
OSAKA -- From floating houses to transport tunnels, 10 elementary school students offered imaginative and unique ideas on disaster mitigation during presentations for an event at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, at a venue in this west Japan city May 28. The "Kodomo Bosai Banpaku" (Children's disaster mitigation expo), a subevent of the Expo running through Oct. 13, was held by an IT firm based in the city of Osaka to explore disaster education and mitigation using cutting-edge technologies. In the elementary school students' division, children from the western Japan prefecture of Kagawa, including participants of a Kagawa University anti-disaster program for primary school students, thought of disaster prevention devices or systems that they wanted to see. They each had 3 minutes to explain their ideas while using illustrations created via AI chats. Their proposals ranged from tunnels to transport necessities -- inspired by the lanes at conveyor-belt sushi restaurants -- to floating houses that leave nature on the earth untouched. One of the students, Rinko Nishio, from an elementary school affiliated with Kagawa University, presented an idea for "Hachidori-go," a shelter in the form on an AI pet. In normal times the "pet" is looked after, but during an emergency, it transforms into a shape large enough to serve as a shelter during emergencies. Rinko came up with the idea while thinking about how to keep cats safe when evacuating, and explained, "I want everyone to evacuate together. I also presented it as a device that's usually like a game anyone can enjoy." Ema Ogawa, a student from a school in the Kagawa Prefecture capital of Takamatsu, proposed a capsule-type bedroom. In the event of a disaster, the user simply crawls into bed for safety. Ema commented, "I get scared easily, so I wanted a safer method than evacuating outside the house." Koudai Higuchi, a student from another school in Takamatsu proposed a seawater desalination system. Kagawa is prone to water shortages, and so Koudai came up with the idea of using seawater. "The key point is that it is powered by solar panels. We want to conserve water not only in times of disaster, but also on a daily basis," the student commented. Yoshiyuki Kaneda, a specially appointed professor at Kagawa University and head of the institution's research center on regional resilience, said, "I keenly sensed the children's wonderful potential. They're making speeches with the awareness that someday, they will do it themselves. It's important to be future-oriented while also utilizing the metaverse, among other things."

'Expo lady' completes full circuit of Osaka pavilions on 46th consecutive visit
OSAKA -- A woman known for being a fan of Expo events has completed a full circuit of all pavilions at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, after visiting the venue for 46 consecutive days since its opening. Tomiyo Yamada, 76, also known by the nickname "Banpaku obaachan," or "Expo lady," completed the feat on May 28. Twenty years ago, Yamada visited the Expo 2005 Aichi, Japan, which was held in her home prefecture, every day it was open. From then on, she became famous for visiting Expo events on every opening day, including those in Shanghai and Yeosu, South Korea. Yamada smiled as she visited the Netherlands Pavilion, which was, by her count, the 219th place she had been to at the Expo. She commented, "I feel it is important to keep going. I'm so happy to have made it to today." There, she met Dutch Consul-General at the Osaka Consulate-General Marc Kuipers and others. During a commemorative ceremony held after the tour, a pinatalike "kusudama" exploded in celebration, and she was given a specially made plushie of the character "Miffy." As she aims to visit the Expo on all 184 days until the final day on Oct. 13, Yamada, her husband and son moved to an apartment block in nearby Suminoe Ward from their home in the Aichi Prefecture city of Seto last December. Yamada shared her aspirations as she completes a second go-around of the pavilions, saying, "From now on, I want to convey the splendor of Japanese culture to visitors from overseas."
