Every story starts with an invitation—to imagine, to engage, to belong. When Henn na Hotel Osaka Namba and Shinsaibashi Come celebrate with us Expo 2025’s mascot Myaku‑Myaku GCSTIMES recognized this as an opportunity to craft a narrative through tactile elements. We captured Myaku‑Myaku’s playful spirit through the first guest touchpoint: Matching wooden cards and paper holdersWith care, we have crafted.
Each card is crafted from responsibly sourced wood, its silky‑smooth surface the perfect canvas for the mascot motif. The sturdy, yet flexible holders cradle the cards securely. The natural texture of wood and the refined texture on the holders combine to create a presentation that is both elegant and personal.
Together, they are:
- The Expo welcomes you with a warm, sustainable welcome that reflects the Expo’s eco-ethos.
- Every visitor can experience Osaka’s historic event through A Global Connection.
- A Memorable Keepingsake, a unique keepsake that invites guests home to bring a story and culture of innovation.
We believe the most powerful brand moments are those your guests can hold—and share. By integrating craftsmanship, sustainability, and a dash of Expo 2025 magic, we turned a simple item into a memorable chapter of every stay.
