Long lines formed early in the morning outside the venue’s east gate. When the gates opened around 9 a.m., crowds streamed in and made their way to their favorite pavilions.
Many visitors expressed mixed feelings about finally getting a chance to attend just before the event ends. “I’m glad I made it in at the very last moment. I wish they would extend the run,” said one visitor. Another added, “It’s sad to see it end, so I’m going to make the most of the last day.”
On the same day, Shanghai—a sister city to Osaka Prefecture and Osaka City—hosted a special one-day event. Visitors had the chance to enjoy Chinese music and dance performances and experience overseas culture.
Expo organizers also reminded attendees that unused tickets without reserved dates can still be exchanged for admission passes until October 12th, the day before the event closes.
The Expo, which has spanned 184 days, will officially end on October 13th.
