Expo 2025 (2025年日本国際博覧会, Nisennijūgo-nen Nippon Kokusai Hakurankai; and officially 大阪・関西万博 Ōsaka–Kansai Banpaku for short) is a World Expo organised and sanctioned by the Bureau International des Expositions (BIE), which is being held in Osaka, Japan. It is taking place for six months from 13 April to 13 October 2025. This is the second time that Osaka has hosted a World Expo, having previously hosted Expo 1970. The event returned to its traditional 5-year scheduling cycle after the 2020 edition was delayed to 2021 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. The projected visitor count is approximately 28 million.
