The image shows the Osaka-Kansai Expo currently being held in Yumeshima, Osaka.
I visited for the first time at the end of May.
Well, I thought I'd be satisfied if I went there once...
Now I have a season pass and this is my fifth visit (lol)
How many more times will I have to ask...?
It's great to be able to experience the art, culture, technology, ideals and values of each country.
Just looking around the pavilions will make you feel like you're traveling around the world.

Also, I would like you to experience the beautiful sunset seen from the large roof ring.
We also recommend the fireworks that are launched every night from around 8pm during the summer holidays.
The Expo will end in about two months.
Apparently there is a tendency for last minute visitors to increase in the last month of the event.
If you haven't been there yet, please do!
