Crazy Weekday Night in Namba with Osaka Expo 2025 Energy! [4K/HDR/Binaural]

Hello, YouTube. Tonight, I’m taking you on a walk through Namba at night, one of Osaka’s most famous spots. We’ve explored Namba quite a few times on this channel before, but this time, something’s different. This video was shot on a Thursday evening, but the streets are busier than they usually are on a weekend night. I’ve never seen Osaka this crazy on a weekday before. Even more surprising, the Mido-suji illuminations, which usually only shine during the Christmas season, are still glowing brightly. The whole city feels like it’s in a festive mood. Even in Tokyo, I’ve never seen this much excitement! I think all this energy is because of the Osaka World Expo 2025 currently happening. So in this video, I’m going to take you on a walk through Namba, buzzing with that special Expo energy. Alright, let’s get started!

Join me for a nighttime walk through Namba, one of Osaka’s most vibrant districts.
This video was filmed on a Thursday evening, but the streets are packed like it’s the weekend—or even a festival! The Midosuji illuminations are still shining brightly, and the whole city feels electrified with energy. It’s unlike anything I’ve seen, even in Tokyo. I suspect it’s all thanks to the excitement surrounding the ongoing Osaka Expo 2025. Let’s take in the lights, the crowds, and the unique nighttime atmosphere of Namba together.
