The cumulative number of general visitors to the World Expo in Osaka has topped 22 million, which is regarded as the event's break-even point, its organizers said Sunday.
About 22,000,500 people had visited the Osaka Expo as of Saturday since its April 13 opening, according to the Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition.
Of those visitors, more than 200,000 people have been to the Expo since mid-September ahead of its Oct. 13 closing. As early as Sunday, the cumulative number of visitors is expected to exceed the 22.05 million — the number of visitors to the 2005 World Expo in Aichi Prefecture.
The association expects a total of approximately 28.2 million people to visit the Osaka Expo before it ends next month.
