Osaka Diaries: Ep.3 – Discovering Japan Pavilion’s Secrets: A Journey Through Expo 2025 | A Must-See
Another day of wonder at the Expo. Let’s see what stories we find today… First, the Japan Pavilion. A feeling of calm, even from the outside. It all starts with something small… …whispers of a greener future. And then, the room comes alive. A dream made of light. Does it represent algae in the sea? It seems we continue outdoors. Breathtaking. It’s so serene in here. A moment of perfect stillness. A rock from Mars. Look who’s here to tell the story. Who knew science could be this charming? These “Hello Kitty” represent different types of algae. Weaving together tradition… …with visions of tomorrow. Every detail feels so thoughtful. Algae as a biodegradable material. This is one of Japan’s R&D most impressive work
in terms of sustainability. Moving from non-biodegradable materials to algae,
for a more sustainable future. Some of the things Japan is famous for. I loved transforming robots when I was a kid. Are they 3D-printed with recycling A truly unforgettable experience. Even the bathrooms are a work of art. A splash of color where you least expect it. Walking under the great Grand Ring. Feeling the sheer scale of it all. And here, a little secret I found… …this gentle, cooling mist. The perfect escape from the summer heat. A little oasis to relax and just breathe. Next, a visit to Thailand. Such a warm and golden welcome. You can almost smell the wonderful food. But it’s not just about cuisine. They are sharing their future of wellness. Nourishing the body and the soul. I love Thai food! You can buy freshly done traditional meals right here. So many stories in one afternoon. Thank you for sharing this quiet walk with me.
