Tsujimoto criticized the doubling of the government's share of expenses, and in response Prime Minister Fumio Kishida stated, "We will make an effort to present a complete picture." The breakdown of the central government's share of expenses other than venue construction costs is as follows: 36 billion yen (about $243 million) for the Japan pavilion; 24 billion yen (approx. $162 million) for assistance to developing countries; 19.9 billion yen (roughly $134 million) for security; and 3.8 billion yen (about $25.6 million) to build momentum for the expo. The government explained that due to high prices and other factors, a total of 30.8 billion yen (approx. $208 million) included in the initial budget request for fiscal 2024 is not expected to cover the total cost of the Japan pavilion. The government is trying to cut expenses by replacing the originally planned three-story pavilion with a two-story one. The state hopes to keep total outlays for the pavilion, including demolition costs

"Please give us the total cost in a lump sum," Tsujimoto pressed the government on the grounds that a complete picture for all of the expo expenses is still unclear. The prime minister responded, "It is important to explain the various amounts that we currently know about with as much transparency as possible in order to gain the understanding of the public." He promised that the government will explain these amounts to make them "as easy as possible to understand."
