Expo '70 (日本万国博覧会 Nihon Bankoku Hakuran-kai) was a world's fair held in Suita, Osaka, Japan, between March 15 and September 13, 1970. The theme of the Expo was Progress and Harmony for Mankind. In Japanese, Expo '70 is often referred to as Osaka Banpaku (大阪万博 Ōsaka Banpaku). This was the first world's fair held in Japan.
Two main principles informed the master plan. The first was the idea that the wisdom of all the peoples of the world would come together in this place and stimulate ideas; the second was that it would be less of an exposition and more of a festival. The designers thought that unlike previous expositions they wished to produce a central, unifying, Festival Plaza where people could meet and socialise. They called this the Symbol Zone and covered it and the themed pavilions with a giant space frame roof.
The site of Expo '70 is now Expo Commemoration Park. Almost all pavilions have been demolished, but a few memorials remain, including part of the roof for Festival Plaza designed by Tange. The most famous of the still-intact pieces is Okamoto Taro's Tower of the Sun. The former international art museum pavilion designed by Kiyoshi Kawasaki was used as the building for the National Museum of Art, Osaka until March 2004 (the museum moved to downtown Osaka in November 2004).
Additionally, there is a time capsule that is to be left for 5,000 years and opened in the year 6970. The capsule was donated by Matsushita Electric Industrial Co. The concept creating time capsules at world's fairs started with the two Westinghouse Time Capsules, which are to be opened in 6939.
Osaka successfully bid for Expo 2025 alongside Yekaterinburg, Russia and Baku, Azerbaijan. However, the world’s fair will not reuse the park space, and will instead be hosted on Yumeshima island in Konohana, on the waterfront of Osaka Bay.
Australia Pavilion at Osaka Expo '70
The Australia Pavilion at Osaka's Expo '70 was modeled on Katsushika Hokusai's The Great Wave at Kanagawa. It remained in Japan, in Yokkaichi, Mie Prefecture, but was condemned and slated for destruction in November 2013.

One Day Tour of EXPO 70 Commemoration Park in Osaka, Japan
I wonder how many Japanese friends of mine remember about or actually visited to one of the most exciting events, EXPO '70 (日本万国博覧会, Nihon bankoku hakuran-kai)which was held at Senri (千里) in Suita city, Osaka, Japan between March 15 and September 13, 1970. The theme of the Expo was Progress and Harmony for Mankind (人類の進歩と調和). I think this was representatively and typically the biggest event for Japanese in the period of rapid growth of Showa (昭和の高度成長時代）, in concurrence with Tokyo Olympic Games (東京オリンピック) in 1964.
We can still feel our emotional elevation by visiting EXPO 70 Commemoration Park and the EXPO 70 Pavilion at the same site, where you can know all the statistics, models of all 77 countries pavilions and everything. The EXPO also featured demonstrations of early mobile phones, local area networking and mag-lev (MAGnetically LEVitated) train technology, all of which mankind has lived out in these 43 years. (＠_＠;)
