When you walk into Expo 2025 Osaka, you’ll realize something surprising－the most unforgettable moments which don’t happen inside the pavilions, but in front of the stage.

As soon as the music starts, the energy shifts. You’re waving, cheering, dancing－surrounded by thousands of people doing the same. It doesn’t feel like an audience. It feels like a shared performance. Experiences like this don’t happen just anywhere.

That’s why these shows aren’t just side events— they might be the reason to choose your visit date.

A 2025 EXPO OSAKA guide: inviting you to join in— not just to watch, but to be part of it.

Traditions and Scents from Across Japan

From seasonal visuals and festival performances rooted in local culture, I am always reminded of the winds, waters, air, and land across Japan. Every performance is a fleeting yet profound "land journey"—speaking with songs, breathing with dance, and voicing the earth through the rhythm of the crowd.

Jump into the rhythm and passion of life

If you ask : where is the place that best awakens the sense of life at the Expo? I would say it’s those live performances without a clear boundary between audience and performers—music comes together, everyone moves, like a city dance party that requires no reservation.

View the Earth and the future

The concept of the future should not only exist in display boards or research institutes but should be brought to life through performances that allow everyone to "imagine themselves in it".

Learn with children how to interact with the world using your body

These activities are designed as spaces for parent-child "co-performances," where children don’t just watch but actively participate—"hands-on and standing together".

With over a thousand people waving, shouting, and being moved together, it’s an uncontrollable, unreproducible emotional chain reaction—an exclusive magical moment of the 2025 Osaka World Expo!

So, if you’re hesitating about which day to visit, why not start with these days of "hanging out with thousands"?
