Travel back to 1970! Osaka Expo '70 Commemorative Park Nostalgia and Nature Tour🌿

#Osaka Itinerary How can you miss this "living history museum" when you come to Osaka? As the site of the 1970 World Expo, the Expo Commemorative Park integrates the memory of the times with the green secrets. Walking through it is like opening a three-dimensional time capsule📚 🌞【Soul Landmark: The Past and Present of the Tower of the Sun】 The most stunning sight at the park entrance is the Tower of the Sun designed by Taro Okamoto! This 70-meter-high giant sculpture is both flamboyant and mysterious: • Three-faced masks: the front "Face of the Sun" has a bright smile, symbolizing the present; the back "Black Sun" has closed eyes in contemplation, telling the past; the top "Golden Face" looks up into the distance, foreshadowing the future. The three faces form a strong visual impact under the blue sky • Surprises inside: Walking into the tower, a spiral staircase surrounds the giant "Tree of Life" installation, where models of evolution from single-celled organisms to humans are suspended in the air, with psychedelic lights, just like the interior of an alien ship. 📡【Futuristic architecture: relics of the space age】 The park retains many pioneering buildings from the Expo period: • Space capsule pavilion: The silver oval shell with round porthole windows looks like a spaceship about to take off. It is now the "Museum of Humanity and Nature", displaying historical images of the Expo and environmental-themed installations • "Sky Walk": A transparent corridor built in the tree canopy. Walking on it is like flying over a sea of ​​greenery, overlooking the Osaka city skyline and Abeno Harukas' "dialogue between the past and the present" 📌【Practical Guide】 🚃Transportation: Osaka Monorail "Banbo Kinen Koen Station" is directly connected, about 40 minutes from Namba 🎫Tickets: Park free, Sun Tower/Museum and other facilities combined ticket 1500 yen ⏰ Recommended time: 4-5 hours. There are few people in the morning, which is suitable for taking photos of buildings. In the afternoon, the trees are dense and suitable for walking. 💡Easter eggs: There is a retro market at the entrance of the park every weekend, where you can find souvenirs from the 1970s Expo and handmade pottery As the smile of the Tower of the Sun has lasted for half a century, and as exotic plants stand side by side with Japanese gardens, the Expo '70 Commemorative Park has long surpassed the definition of "park" - it is a microcosm of Japan's dreams during its rapid development period, and an oasis for contemporary people to escape from the city. Whether you love history, architecture, or nature, you can enjoy a lot of "time surprises" here✨ #Osaka Attractions #Banbo Memorial Park #Japan Showa Nostalgia #Kansai Free Travel #Architecture Fan Check-in Spot
