Expo 2025 Osaka is set to attract international visitors, eager to explore forward-looking exhibits and cultural showcases. Agoda’s insights revealed that the highest number of accommodation searches for the Kansai<\/span> region came from South Korea<\/span>, followed by Taiwan<\/span>, Hong Kong<\/span>, Thailand<\/span> and mainland China<\/span>.<\/p>\n

Beyond the Expo, the Kansai<\/span> region and surrounding areas offer a variety of experiences, from historical landmarks to culinary delights. Agoda has identified five destinations that are ideal for day trips:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Nara<\/b>: Known for its historical significance, Nara features attractions such as Todai-ji Temple and Nara Park, where deer roam freely. The city’s serene environment provides a contrast to the dynamic atmosphere of the Expo. Nara is accessible in about an hour via the JR Osaka Loop Line.<\/li>\n
  2. Kobe<\/span><\/b>: This port city combines modernity with tradition, offering highlights such as the Kitano Ijinkan-gai District and panoramic views from Mount Rokko. Kobe<\/span> beef and the hot springs of Arima Onsen<\/span> are also popular draws. The JR Kobe Line Rapid Service connects Osaka<\/span> to Kobe<\/span> in approximately 30 minutes.<\/li>\n
  3. Nagoya<\/span><\/b>: A blend of innovation and tradition, Nagoya<\/span> features landmarks like Nagoya Castle and the Toyota Commemorative Museum of Industry and Technology. Local cuisine, including miso katsu, adds to the city’s appeal. The Shinkansen from Shin-Osaka Station ensures a quick and convenient journey.<\/li>\n
  4. Himeji<\/b>: Himeji Castle, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a must-see for its architectural beauty and historical significance. The castle’s white facade and surrounding gardens are particularly striking. The JR Sanyo Shinkansen provides access to Himeji in under an hour.<\/li>\n
  5. Wakayama<\/b>: Wakayama offers a mix of spiritual and cultural experiences, including Mount Koya, a center of Shingon Buddhism, and Wakayama Castle. Fresh seafood markets add a culinary dimension to the visit. The JR Wakayama Line connects Osaka<\/span> to this peaceful destination.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Hiroto Ooka<\/span>, Associate Vice President, North Asia<\/span> at Agoda, shared, “Expo 2025 Osaka is not just about innovation; it’s also an opportunity to explore the rich culture and history of the Kansai<\/span> region and beyond. Agoda is excited to help travelers uncover these destinations and create unforgettable memories with great value deals on accommodation, flights, and activities.”<\/p>\n
