Why You Should Visit

A one-day event bringing exhibits and characters from the 2025 Osaka-Kansai Expo to three venues across Hirakata. At Wako Country Club in the eastern hills you will find pavilion uniforms and exhibits, food trucks from Jordan, the Philippines and more, and a stage with Myaku-Myaku. The Tobu Incineration Plant hosts Circular, the German Pavilion mascot, a scale model and Panasonic Pavilion displays, while Rapport Hirakata near Hirakatashi Station shows items from the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion. Entry is free, and a stamp rally rewards visiting two or more venues, making it a good family day out for anyone who misses the Expo.

Can I visit all venues in one day?
