Osaka Expo 2025 is a $1.5 Billion investment featuring pavilions from 160 countries and corporations showcasing their culture, innovation and arts to the world, all in one place. It is located on Yumeshima Island in Osaka Bay, not far from Universal Studios Japan. This is a manmade island of more than 900 acres and Expo 2025 occupies 383 of those acres. This is HUGE!
The expo features the largest wooden structure in the world; the Grand Ring or Grand Roof as it is called. The Japanese are known for their exquisite woodworking skills, and they are on full display at Expo 2025. The Grand Ring stretches more than 1.25 miles in circumference and is over is nearly 2,000 feet across. It stands 20 to 30 feet high and provides an aerial walkway and garden for viewing the expo and Osaka Bay. There is simply nothing like it in the world.
The variety of country pavilions is staggering, with each one being unique. In addition to the country pavilions, there will be corporate pavilions in which companies such as Mitsubishi, Toyota, Hitachi and more showcase the latest innovations in technology. This is not like a fair or amusement park with thrill rides, but rather more like Disneyworld’s Epcot, showcasing futuristic ideas and design. There will be concerts and of course foods to sample from the various countries.
