Osaka Expo｜An Immersive Experience Worth Rushing For

Family! Just got back from the Osaka Expo🎢

At first, I was anxious about not being able to book the popular pavilions, but once I got there, I realized—yes, there are crowds, but the Expo’s excitement is definitely not limited to inside the pavilions!

After rushing for two days straight, my first day’s reservations ended in a disaster🚦. On the second day, I finally snagged spots at the Netherlands Pavilion and earth Mart. Later, I discovered that for popular pavilions, you can get in by lining up onsite at 9-10 AM (no reservation needed!). I quickly rushed to the Atom Pavilion and Japan Pavilion, and didn’t miss the France Pavilion or Kuwait Pavilion either. I’ve got the pavilion booking tricks down pat🤏.

National pavilions showcase cultural features🇯🇵, while themed corporate pavilions offer tech interactions (robots, cutting-edge medical tech!). After visiting the pavilions, you can admire the park’s architecture and art installations, climb the “Big Roof” to watch the sunset, catch the water curtain show, browse souvenir shops, and even get your pulse checked (there’s a line but it’s super affordable!). Surprises are everywhere🎭.

Architecture lovers can enjoy the designs, travelers can snap scenic photos, and even if you don’t enter the pavilions, just being “there” to experience the Expo’s space and design is totally worth it! Crowds are the norm, so just relax and enjoy it～
