Mr. Mitani from our company visited the Expo.He had a 10:00 AM entry reservation and arrived at the East Gate (Yumesaki Station) around 9:00 AM.Everyone was waiting to enter with sunshades in hand.

Looking around, it seemed that foldable chairs were a must-have, likely due to the long waiting time.The entry process was relatively smooth, and he was able to get inside just before 10:00 AM.

It was crowded with many people.He visited pavilions from countries like Singapore, Malaysia, the Philippines, Colombia, Portugal, the Czech Republic, Scandinavia, and Switzerland.For most of these countries, the waiting time was about 30 minutes before entering.

Popular pavilions like those from the United States and Canada had waiting times of over 60 minutes.There were also some pavilions where entry without a reservation wasn’t allowed.Since I wasn’t lucky enough to win the reservation lottery, I toured the Expo without a reservation.It seemed that chairs were a must-have for many people.

This is the large roof ring of the Expo.

This is a part of the paper cut artwork I saw at the Swiss Pavilion.It’s an incredibly delicate technique.

Why not consider visiting the Expo yourself?
