Expo '70 Commemorative Park

Expo '70 Commemorative Park

Expo '70 Commemorative Park is a vast 260-hectare park located on the site of the Japan World Expo held in Osaka in 1970. At the center of this expansive area is the "Tower of the Sun," designed by Taro Okamoto, surrounded by beautiful nature that changes with the seasons. Initially, the tower was scheduled for removal, but it was permanently preserved due to the wishes of many people.

Within the park, there are the "Natural Culture Garden" and the "Japanese Garden," where visitors can experience diverse nature and the essence of Japan. In particular, the festival plaza and green space, where the chirping of small birds, vibrant flowers, and various events and festivals can be enjoyed, create a space that blends culture and recreation.

Since 2018, the interior of the Tower of the Sun has been open to the public, featuring exhibits that allow visitors to re-experience the excitement of the Osaka Expo, including the Tree of Life and the Underground Sun (admission is by reservation priority). Access is convenient via the Osaka Monorail at "Expo '70 Commemorative Park Station" or "Park East Entrance Station."

Expo '70 Commemorative Park is a beloved destination for a wide range of people, from nature lovers to those interested in history and culture.
