The sun tower as the ultimate symbol of the event in 1970

Two monorail lines take people from Osaka to the entrance of the park

Open playgrounds were built for public events

A park for children was built and it sticks to the World Expo's focus on technology

The aerial promenade takes you through the thick woods

The promenade winds through trees and let you observe them closely from the above

On the wooden tower at the end of the promenade views of far-off sights are clear under good weather conditions

The venue of the 1970 World Expo in Osaka serves as a memorial site for the one of the greatest events in Japanese history. Only a few small facilities and arts installations are left over from 45 years ago, including the sun tower that stands directly behind the entrance. The majority of the park area is used as a garden and open playground. The middle of the park holds the National Museum of Ethnology and the Japan Folk Crafts Museum. Other attractions include the Expo ’70 pavilion, transformed from the former Steel Pavilion and now serveing as a museum that houses a large collection of original items from the World Expo.
