FAQ
Yes, a ticket is required to enter Expo'70 Commemorative Park. The park is divided into the Natural and Cultural Garden and the Japanese Garden, both of which require admission tickets. Additionally, the EXPO'70 Pavilion within the park requires a separate ticket. You can purchase tickets at the park's entrance booths or consider buying them online in advance to save time queuing and ensure smooth entry.
It is generally recommended to make a reservation or purchase tickets online in advance for the EXPO'70 Pavilion, especially during busy holidays. By booking your EXPO'70 Pavilion tickets through KKday, you can easily complete the purchase process, secure your entry, and avoid sold-out tickets or long waits upon arrival, making your itinerary more flexible and efficient.
Expo'70 Commemorative Park is vast. To fully explore the Natural and Cultural Garden, the Japanese Garden, and the EXPO'70 Pavilion, it is recommended to allocate at least half a day to a full day (approximately 4-6 hours). If your time is limited, you can focus on visiting the EXPO'70 Pavilion and the area around the Tower of the Sun, which takes about 2-3 hours. The park offers walking paths and bicycle rental services for visitors to explore.
The most convenient way to get to Expo'70 Commemorative Park is by taking the Osaka Monorail. From central Osaka, take the subway to 'Senrichuo Station,' then transfer to the Osaka Monorail and alight at 'Expo Kinen Koen Station' or 'Koen Higashiguchi Station.' The park is a short walk from there. The journey from Umeda or Namba takes approximately 30-40 minutes.
The EXPO'70 Pavilion is a commemorative museum for the 1970 Osaka World Expo. The permanent exhibition recreates the atmosphere of that time and displays precious artifacts from the Expo. A newly added annex features the 'Golden Face' from the top of the Tower of the Sun, and through a video timeline, visitors can immerse themselves in the history and impact of the Expo, experiencing the innovative spirit of that era.
In addition to the EXPO'70 Pavilion, the most famous outdoor landmark of Expo'70 Commemorative Park is the 'Tower of the Sun.' The park also features the expansive Natural and Cultural Garden, with diverse floral and plant landscapes such as the Tulip Garden and Rose Garden, as well as a pond for boating. The Japanese Garden showcases traditional Japanese landscape art and offers a serene space for a stroll.
The iconic 'Tower of the Sun' at Expo'70 Commemorative Park was one of the theme pavilions for the 1970 Osaka World Expo, designed by artist Taro Okamoto. The EXPO'70 Pavilion was converted from the former Steel Pavilion and is dedicated to showcasing the history and legacy of the Expo, including a replica of the 'Golden Face' from the top of the Tower of the Sun. Both are significant legacies of the Expo and together narrate the glorious history of that time.
It is recommended to enter through the park's main entrance, admire the Tower of the Sun along the way, and proceed directly to the EXPO'70 Pavilion. Allow about 1-2 hours for your visit to the pavilion. Afterward, you can take photos with the 1/100 scale model of the Expo's large roof and the monument on the outdoor lawn plaza, then explore other areas of the Natural and Cultural Garden or the Japanese Garden according to your interests.
