Sustainable Pavilion Inc. 2025 and partners including Mitsubishi Estate, Macnica, JTB, and NEC will open the permanent theater null2n at Yokohama Landmark Tower on October 14, 2026. The venue carries on the Osaka-Kansai Expo pavilion null2, which drew approximately 530,000 visitors. An opening ceremony was held on October 9. The roughly 60-minute experience runs from a Gate through five areas.
The permanent venue opens at Landmark Plaza 5F with an experience of roughly 60 minutes, starting at a Gate and moving through five areas. The Expo version was known for a round LED at the center of a mirror film, nicknamed the main LED, and a single LED theater room.
The app Mirrored Body, used at the Expo to create digital alter egos, returns at the Yokohama site, where visitors can reunite with those alter egos. The partners describe the project as an initiative linking Osaka, Yokohama, and the participating companies.
The relocation drew support after the Expo closed, including a crowdfunding campaign called Nurunuru's Move that passed 100 million yen within 23 hours of launch.
