I was in Osaka for the EXPO opening but didn't have the time to visit 😕
We will be in Tokyo next week then to Osaka for the Expo. 楽しみにしている!
I booked a day pass for the 28th and I received an email saying I won A Spectacle of Air and Water“Under the Midnight Rainbow”Presented by SUNTORY|DAIKIN Viewing Area, after watching your video it seems like this show is open for everyone and now Im so confused…
I went to the expo on opening day, that was a horrible idea. It was the only day of my Japan trip that was not good. It was cold, rainy, windy, miserable, and there weren't many places at the Expo to hide from the weather because there were lines everywhere for everything. I didn't win any lotteries to get into the pavillions. The website showed there was some pavillions you could get reservations for but then when you would check out, it wouldn't work and you couldn't reserve tickets. The merchandise for the expo was pretty horrible and the designs were so unappealing I couldn't really buy anything at the store after waiting so long because nothing appealed to me. Overall, it was pretty bad. I'm still seeing reviews from people attending the Expo who had a really bad time, as well as people who had a good time. It looks like it is still a very uneven experience for guests. It's great if you had a good time, but that doesn't negate the negative experience many people had and are still having. I hope the expo is able to work out its issues so that it is more enjoyable for guests. I will also add that as someone who does not speak Japanese, there weren't many signs around to help people understand – for example, there were several lines to get into the store but nowhere was it explained what the other line was for. It turns out I waited in a long line to get some kind of Hello Kitty exclusive that I did not want. There were also not many signs outside in languages other than Japanese. They may have fixed this since but my advice to the organizers would be to create areas for bad weather so people can escape from it if they need to, more signage in multiple languages and better items that say Osaka Expo so people can buy it and actually want to. There needs to be a lot of improvement still.
So much content in this video. Thank you for this! Wonderful!
I visted the Expo. I felt there was a lot of content, but little substance. The signage is awful and the lack of exits on the Grand Ring is dangerous. Do not have a medical emergency while walking up there. No one is coming to help you soon.
I went to the expo a couple of weeks ago. I did enjoy myself there, but I wasn't able to get a reservation for the pavillions I was really looking forward to. I was hoping there would at least be a standby line as well, but they didn't have any. It was just reservations only for quite a number of the pavillions, which makes sense for pavillions as huge and popular as Gundam, but there were still some pavillions there that were a bit niche that also didn't have standby lines! It was a great experience, but the lack of standby lines was a disappointment and meant I could only go to 3 of the 7 pavillions I planned to visit that day.
finally, one of the more informative and fair takes on the expo, good job!
I went opening day. The rain was a bummer, but I was able to walk around some.
Very well narrated!
