What is a World Expo?

The Osaka Expo 1970, Japan’s, and Asia’s, first ever, became a symbol of Japan’s rapid economic growth and one of the country’s most lauded events. Twenty years after the Aichi Expo 2005, Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai will bring the international community back to Japan.
A World Exposition is a place, where new technologies and products are born, triggering greater convenience in our daily lives.

It refers to a new form of society chronologically following hunting, farming, industry, and information societies. A society that is able to resolve a variety of issues on a global scale with technologies such as the Internet of Things (IoT), Artificial Intelligence (AI), robotics, big data, and biotechnology is a society that will have achieved the SDGs.

Good points

- It was fun because Pokemon appeared all over the town. I wanted to see all the panels, so I walked quite a distance for the first time in a while.

- The prize at the end was good. The acrylic charms were especially big and cool. If your favorite Pokemon is among the prizes, you should participate.

- Bad points

- The map is hard to see. I didn&#39;t understand the meaning of the dummy panels at first. I thought that many of the panels were in tricky locations for an event mainly aimed at children.

- It&#39;s difficult to go around without taking a break. It says 1-2 hours, but it&#39;s better to look around for more than 3 hours. (Especially if you go to points that are not related to the rally points) It&#39;s Umeda, so if you miss the timing, it&#39;s hard to find a place to rest, especially on holidays.

The museum inside Osaka Castle offers a good overview of the castle&rsquo;s history with some interesting displays and artifacts. The interior has been modernized with elevators and air conditioning, which makes for a comfortable visit, though it does contrast sharply with the traditional exterior. The view from the top is a highlight.

A really beautiful and lovely temple in Kyoto. This is a must visit.

Best Things to Do

Amusement parks

We started lining up at Universal Studios at 7:00 AM, going through security, and then checking tickets inside, which also required lining up. The park opened at 8:30 AM. It was incredibly hot in July. The kids had a blast. We lost all three of our children, and none of them had a phone number to contact us. We asked staff for help, and Ms. Watanabe at Lost and Found registered the children&#39;s clothing and ages. When we arrived at the park&#39;s service center, we happened to run into three children who were also looking for help from staff looking for their mother. The children&#39;s English was broken, but the Japanese staff used translation software and were able to get through to us. It took over an hour to find the children. It was an unforgettable experience! The kids had a blast, too.

It was too hot and crowded to queue under the scorching sun. I went to the China Pavilion and the UAE Pavilion, but I just didn&#39;t have the energy to brave the sun. There weren&#39;t any particularly impressive designs, so I regretted not visiting the Science and Technology Museum.
