The Aqua Metropolis Osaka Consortium
MATSUI Iyoko
- Executive Director, The Aqua Metropolis Osaka Consortium
- Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry
An employee of the Osaka Chamber of Commerce and Industry. After working in the areas of local commerce promotion, women’s empowerment, and information technology support for small and medium-sized enterprises, she has been in her current position since April 2021. She holds a second-class small ship pilot license, a Master of Commerce, and an MFA, and enjoys walking along the waterfront and visiting art museums. With the EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan to be held in Yumeshima as an opportunity, she is working with the members of the consortium, which consists of the public and private sectors, to create a more lively “water corridor,” which is rare in the world.
The Aqua Metropolis Osaka Consortium holds Aqua Metropolis Osaka Week in each of the four seasons and holds fireworks displays on the water, and in preparation for the Expo, we would like to provide more and more opportunities for people to enjoy experiencing Osaka as the “Aqua Metropolis.” Furthermore, during the Expo, we will provide information so that visitors can enjoy Osaka’s history, culture, and cuisine before and after boarding the boats that will travel between the Yumeshima site and the city center of Osaka!
