However, for those of you who don't want anymore words from me, just pictures, here are some of my favourite photos taken around the site.

The Chinese Pavilion (left) is one of the most impressive at the fair

No, it's not the great white north. It's regeneration!

Inside the Canadian pavilion there are no words. Visitors are handed an augmented reality tablet which produces some very attractive images

A good way to get an overview of the site is from the 2 km walkway along the top of the circular mass timber structure....supposedly the largest in the world.

This lunch at one of the onsite restaurants was remarkable in that I never had any contact with a human being. I ordered the food from a tablet on the table, and it arrived on a conveyor. When I was finished, the bill appeared on the tablet!

Inside the French pavilion was an interesting display of French fashions.

Inside the USA pavilion there was absolutely no mention of tariffs

Throughout the site there are public art installations. This one comprised old wheelchairs. 

All this greenery was found in the Belgium pavilion

There were a lot of medical innovations on display

 

The Philippines pavilion was most attractive, especially at night

For a brief moment I thought I was back at EXPO 2020 Dubai. When I was there, there was a surprising absence of international visitors.

The Future Cities pavilion takes a look back and forward at the five key stages of Society.

Kawasaki's futuristic horse!

Inside the Chinese pavilion I was greeted by a guide and videographer. I am sure they deleted my comments as soon as the tour was over. But I was impressed!

One of the Chinese pavilion displays told the story of a day in the life of a modern middle-class family

An impressive theatrical production in the main theatre featured this acrobatic individual in a wheelchair

This toilet analyses your stool and provides advance warning of health issues 

This Honda vehicle is steered by gentle body movements

A sea of solar panels surrounding the site helps power the pavilions and transportation, such as this EV bus that derives its power from the road pavement.

EXPO 2025 offers a glimpse of the future. And based on what I saw it is promising!

For more information, check out the many videos that you will find online. Better still, visit Osaka before October 13th and experience the fair yourself. I don't think you'll regret doiing so.
