You can get two shots of Myakmyak and a life-size Gundam! I went to the West Gate side of Expo ’70 Kansai, Osaka, Japan.

Posted on 2025-04-102025-05-15 by Editor in Chief

On April 13, the Osaka-Kansai Expo (EXPO 2025) will open in Yumeshima, Osaka. Here we report on scenes from the media day held prior to the opening of the Expo.

There are two entrance gates to the Expo site: the East Gate on the Yumeshima Station side and the West Gate on the bus terminal side. Near both gates are statues of the official Expo character “Myakmyak,” making them great photo spots for visitors to enjoy taking pictures to commemorate their visit.

Of these, the Myakmyak statue on the west side is located in the West Street Plaza next to the private pavilion “GUNDAM NEXT FUTURE PAVILION,” where visitors can get two shots with the 17-meter-tall life-size Gundam statue.

The pose of the Gundam with one knee up and its arm raised wide is said to be inspired by the image of the Gundam reaching out to the universe and the future. Only during the Expo, visitors will be able to enjoy seeing the competition between the smiling Myakmyak and the cool Mobile Suit Gundam in front of the large roof ring.

Incidentally, the Myakmyak statue on the east side looks as if it is sitting on its haunches, welcoming visitors with hands on the ground and saying, “Okoshiyasu~! Both statues are a must-see.
