EXPO 2025 OSAKA Japan REVIEW | Our Disappointing Experience

This week we visited the Expo 2025 Osaka in Japan. We had this adventure on our radar since we attended the Dubai Expo 2020 and had such an amazing time. That Expo experience set very high expectations for the Expo 2025 Osaka. We were so excited to visit the EXPO when we finally arrived at the metro station near the East Gate. While there were some fun things to see and do at the Osaka Expo, we struggled with the long lines, the very confusing and limiting reservation system and the lack of permanence of the pavilions and displays. We tried to love it like we did the Dubai Expo, but we just did not. In this video we give you a peek at some of the highlights and lowlights of the Osaka Expo. If you have attended the Osaka Expo or plan to, we would love to hear your feedback.

Next week we start our most epic adventure yet—a 10-video travelogue series through China that spans 3,350 miles, 9 cities, and approximately a million dumplings (give or take). We started this unforgettable journey in the vibrant streets of Hong Kong and zipped across the country on some of the fastest, smoothest, and downright fanciest trains we’ve ever experienced. From futuristic skylines to ancient temples, panda sightings to people-watching, this series is packed with unforgettable moments and plenty of surprises.

Whether you’re a curious armchair traveler or planning your own trip to China, we hope you’ll ride along with us for the full series. We’ll be sharing all our best travel tips, what it’s really like to hop aboard China’s high-speed rail, and our honest take on what it feels like to be Americans exploring this vast and fascinating country. So grab a snack (preferably something steamed or stir-fried), hit that subscribe button, and let’s get rolling—this is one ride you don’t want to miss!

After China, we will continue the travelogue as we journey through Japan and South Korea.

We hope you will join us on this journey by subscribing to our YouTube channel, joining us on our Facebook Community Group and sign up for our newsletter.
