This in-depth walking tour video showcases the highly anticipated Osaka Expo 2025, hosted on Yumeshima, a man-made island off the coast of central Osaka. The six-month event, running from April 13 to October 13, 2025, is themed “Designing Future Society for Our Lives.” It brings together countries, innovators, and organizations to present their visions and advancements for the future in a series of state-of-the-art pavilions.

A highlight of the expo is the Grand Ring—a 2-kilometer-long, 12-20 meter tall, 30-meter-wide elevated walkway. This massive wooden structure partially extends over the island’s waters, forming a unique ring that encircles the majority of pavilions. The Grand Ring not only defines the expo’s architecture but also provides sweeping views of both the expo grounds and Osaka Bay. Many of the expo’s main attractions, displays, and interactive activities are housed inside and around this ring, making it the central hub of visitor movement and engagement.

Yumeshima itself is undergoing rapid development. After the expo, the site is set to become home to a groundbreaking integrated resort and casino around 2030, turning this area into a major new landmark for Osaka. This video navigates viewers through the expo’s main features—exploring not just pavilions that spotlight cutting-edge technology and global sustainability efforts, but also the logistical brilliance behind the Grand Ring and the larger transformation of Yumeshima island.
