A Visit to the Expo - A Day Impressed by Japanese Craftsmanship

Yesterday, I visited the Osaka Kansai Expo.
I was deeply impressed by the traditional Japanese craftsmanship and it was a valuable experience to come into contact with the cultures of various countries around the world.

Anticipation and excitement for the Expo

The World Expo brings together countries from all over the world. We were looking forward to visiting this special place where the cultures, technologies, and arts of each country come together.

The importance of reservations

  • Advance reservations required: Many popular pavilions require reservations
  • Reception closes after 7pm: Realizing the importance of time management
