What is a World Expo?
   A World Expo is an event that brings together people and innovations from around the world in an effort to address issues facing humankind on a global scale. 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.

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.

I went to Universal Studios Japan on a hot day, went in through the top gate and lined up at 7:30, and the first thing I did was to get a Mario ticket. I was too tired in the afternoon, so I went to the hotel opposite to rest, and asked to come back. The staff would stamp your ticket, which was invisible, but you could see it when you shined their light.

Family-Friendly Attractions

The experience of the sea tour hall is superb, the Starbucks scenery at the exit is beautiful, and there is a pier where you can take a cruise to Universal Studios on the other side! The entire sea tour hall is reasonable, and the loan of the interpreter is also very convenient. It is worth a visit!

While the castle itself may seem overrated, the surrounding and the park is absolutely a treat. I would definitely recommend to take the inter park train, walk around the castle and check out their merch shop.

Tsutenkaku

Immediate access

小蓝军1905

Tsutenkaku is a scene that often appears in various Japanese animations and film and television dramas. It is the most worthwhile attraction in Osaka. There are many subways passing through Tsutenkaku. There are many kinds of food and commodity stores, zoos and municipal art galleries under the tower, which is very convenient. Make an appointment online, no need to pick up tickets, and lack the collection of paper tickets. There are many tourists visiting, and I waited for 20 minutes before going up to the tower. There were officials taking pictures upstairs. I looked at it indoors first, and then outdoors without any obstructions. There were various cultural and creative products downstairs, which felt very humane.

Shinsaibashisuji

蓝星旅行者

Step out of Shinsaibashi subway station and you will instantly fall into the space-time tunnel of the arcade. Under the 600-meter-long translucent dome, the cobblestone road reflects the warm light of British street lamps, and the red brick buildings on both sides are like folded chessboards - this is the elegant background of the &quot;European Village&quot;. With your fingertips brushing the brick wall of the century-old shop, the Daimaru Department Store, which evolved from Matsuya, stands as a retro landmark: the ochre-red lattice window lattices are inlaid with milky white reliefs, and fashionable customers carrying paper bags flow under the Baroque dome, as if the Edo merchant spirit is still wandering between the windows.

Turn west into the American Village, and the style of the painting changes suddenly! Fluorescent graffiti is splashed on the mottled walls. In the rebellious visual rock, the legendary red lattice house jumps into the eye - bright geometric blocks are stacked like a Rubik&#39;s Cube, the window frames are painted Klein blue, the stairs are spiraled out of lemon yellow, and the trendy brand store on the second floor is hung with riveted leather jackets, like fragments of another dimension torn from comics. Teenagers skated under the wall, and the hip-hop rhythm and the aroma of latte collided in the air.

When dusk covered the bridge with golden gauze, you must check in at Dotonbori Ebisu Bridge! The giant Glico runner sign cast a neon phantom on the river. Looking across the river, the red checkered house turned into a maze of lights, performing a cyberpunk carnival with the mechanical crab waving at Kani Doraku and the roaring dragon head of Jinlong Ramen. The evening breeze brought the burnt aroma of takoyaki, leaning on the bridge railing to bite through the golden crispy skin, watching the cruise ship full of laughter shattering the neon reflection - at this moment, I understand that the magic of Shinsaibashi is growing wildly in the cracks between European elegance and American publicity.

&quot;When the solemnity of the red brick dome meets the madness of the graffiti grid, I know that the soul of Osaka is a hybrid of commercial genes and street art.&quot;
