Expo 2025 (2025年日本国際博覧会, 2025-nen Nippon kokusai hakurankai) is an upcoming World Expo organised and sanctioned by the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), which will be held in Osaka, Japan. It will take place for six months during 2025, opening 13 April 2025 and closing 13 October 2025. It will be held for 184 days.[2] This will be the third time Osaka hosts a World Expo, having previously hosted Expo 1970 and Expo 1990. The event will return to its traditional 5-year scheduling cycle after the Expo 2020 was delayed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic.[3] The projected visitor count is approximately 28 million.[2]
