EXPO '70 COMMEMORATIVE PARK
It was on the former site of the 1970 Japan Universal Exposition that this park of over 260 ha was built. A large part of the site is free of access and allows you to walk in a natural setting, perfect in the spring to make a hanami, i. e. observing cherry flowers (sakura), a popular Japanese activity during the two weeks of flowering and not to be missed if you are in Japan to the right period. You can also take a bath in a hot water source, pedal or walk over the tree tops on a 300 m long wooden bridge. Interesting also, the Japanese garden of 26 ha, divided into four sections, each representing one of the great periods of Japanese history: period Heian (viiie in the seventeenth century), the Kamakura and Muromachi period (xiie in the sixteenth century) and the Edo period (xvii in the nineteenth century).
Japan was the first country in Asia to host the Universal Exhibition. To celebrate its 40 years, the Pavilion 70 opened its doors in 2010 and traces this epic through numerous photos and videos. The tower of the Sun, which dominates the park of its 65 meters high, remains the guardian of the memory of this event. Finally, for shopping enthusiasts, the Expo City shopping center is just at the entrance to the park.
