What is the Osaka World Expo 2025?

From April 13 to October 13, 2025, Osaka will host the prestigious World Expo, located on Yumeshima Island, under the theme:

“Designing the Society of the Future and Imagining Our Life of Tomorrow.”

After being selected by the Bureau International des Expositions in 2018, Osaka will welcome millions of visitors to explore cutting-edge innovations, global cultural experiences, and advanced technologies. This will be Japan’s second World Expo, after Osaka’s memorable event in 1970.

Expect three sub-themes, each explored through dedicated pavilions:

• Saving Lives: Health, well-being, and solutions to global challenges
• Empowering Lives: Innovation, AI ethics, and urban mobility
• Connecting Lives: Sustainability and intercultural exchange

What to expect?

The Osaka World Expo 2025 will take place on Yumeshima Island, an artificial island in Osaka Bay, spanning 155.6 hectares. The master plan, designed by architect Sou Fujimoto, organizes the Expo into three areas:

• Green World: Parking, open stages, shops, and relaxation areas.
• Pavilion World: National, thematic, and corporate pavilions, all connected by a large circular promenade.
• Water World: A space integrating water elements for relaxation and exploration.

In addition to these main areas, the Expo will feature a variety of events, interactive exhibits, and live performances. Visitors will have the opportunity to experience the latest technological innovations, from smart cities and AI-driven solutions to sustainable energy and mobility projects.

One of the highlights of the Expo is the participation of over 150 countries and international organizations, each presenting their unique vision of the future. Expect to see breathtaking pavilion designs, immersive cultural experiences, and groundbreaking technological prototypes.

The event will also serve as a platform for forums and conferences, addressing crucial topics such as:

• The future of artificial intelligence and ethics
• Innovative solutions to climate change
• Sustainable urbanization and smart mobility

This global gathering of cultures and ideas will allow people from all over the world to engage in discussions, discover futuristic concepts, and enjoy a truly unique cultural and technological exchange.

※ On our website, you are asked to choose a date and time of entry, but this is for information only. We cannot guarantee that the time chosen with us will be available on the Osaka World Expo site.

IMORTANT INFORMATION BEFORE BOOKING

• Try to visit outside of major Japanese holidays, such as Golden Week (late April to early May), to avoid large crowds.
• We recommend you to arrive around noon or in the afternoon, to provide a quieter, more relaxed experience, as the majority of school groups are visiting in the morning.
• Due to the global scale of the Expo, nearby hotels and lodging may fill up quickly. If possible, book your accommodation early.
