Known forparkpublic artWorld Expoiconic
The sprawling grounds of the 1970 World Exposition have been preserved as a vast park anchored by Taro Okamoto's iconic Tower of the Sun, one of Japan's most striking pieces of public art. Inside the tower, a restored interior installation of the Tree of Life is genuinely awe-inspiring and requires advance reservation. The park also contains the National Museum of Ethnology, Japanese gardens, and seasonal flower fields — plan at least half a day and book the tower interior online before you go.
