UPDATE 24 AUG 25: The Osaka Kansai World Expo had started on 13th April and it's ticket sales exceeded the breaking even point with 18.09 million on 11th Aug tickets despite sluggish ticket sales before the opening and during the first few weeks.

Time flies, as the year 2024 will come to an end in less than 2 weeks time. As 2025 is nearing, I would like to share something important about an event that will in Japan, which is the World Expo. The World Expo will be hosted in Osaka on a new reclaimed island called Yumeshima, with pavilions showcasing exhibitions from 60+ different countries, as well as some major Japanese companies like Bandai and Mitsubishi. The theme of the Expo 2025 will be "Designing Future Society for Our Lives"
As part of the celebrations that Osaka Japan get to host the World Expo for the third time, the first being Expo 1970, several railway companies are preparing for the event by decorating some of their trains with the EXPO 2025 wrapping to promote the event and build excitement and awareness among its population. The Expo 2025 will take place for 6 months from opening on 13 April 2025 to closing on 13 October 2025.
