Expo 2025 Official Stamp Passport

It started back in the Edo period (1600-1868): the military government of the shogun that essentially ruled Japan didn't allow people to travel, so those who did had to carry passports that were stamped in various stations along the country's major roads. But the idea of collecting stamps from various places became a habit. So much so that even today, the Japanese cannot resist a "stamp rally" (collecting stamps from train stations, tourist attractions, and so on). And when there's a big event, like the Osaka Kansai world fair, special stamps are created and with them go special books to collect them: the Expo 2025 Official Stamp Passport!

To get an idea of how serious the Japanese are about stamp rallies, the 88 x 125 mm (3.5 x 4.9") Expo 2025 Official Stamp Passport has 72 pages (including the front and back covers) and has places for over 200 stamps from all the sights at the big event. And if you are not going to visit Osaka during the expo, the passport is still a great souvenir from the fair since its text includes explanations, maps, and photos of all the zones. In other words, it's a full yet mini guide to Expo 2025!
