How to Disrupt Your Hotel Market with AI and Blue Ocean Strategies | By Are Morch
Imagine this: two hotels side by side. Both boast rooftop pools, chic lobbies, and decent coffee. Yet one is bleeding profits while the other thrives, not by doing more—but by doing different. The latter doesn’t compete on price or amenities; it sails in its own Blue Ocean, where competition becomes irrelevant.
Tips & Takeaways from the Osaka Expo 2025 | Arigato Travel
If you’ve seen all the tweets and videos about how “the Osaka Expo is overcrowded and chaotic,” you’re not alone. I saw them too. But after actually going, the experience genuinely surprised me, in ways most people don’t seem to mention online. It’s actually completely organized once you’re inside. There are numerous volunteers (many of whom are multilingual), and signs are available in both English and Japanese, as well as Korean and Chinese. I never once felt lost or overwhelmed; plus, people were generally patient and polite. The Expo isn’t perfect, but it’s not a disaster either. Here’s what I wish more folks were saying out loud: Don’t fear the crowds (just time it right) A lot of people online were saying things like “it’s packed all the time” or “you’ll be standing in line forever.” But here’s what worked for me: I booked a 9 a.m. entry slot, but showed up around 10:00 or 10:30. That early wave had already cleared the gates, while the 10 a.m. crowd was still queued up around the block. My advice? Book an early slot, arrive just a bit after, and you'll likely skip the worst of the congestion. Timing really makes the difference between a calm stroll and a footrace. It’s 100% cashless—no exceptions One thing nobody really warned me about: you can’t use cash. At all. The entire Expo is completely cashless. As someone who likes having yen on hand, I was caught off guard. Make sure you bring a credit or IC card (like Suica or ICOCA), or set up mobile payment options like PayPay or Apple Pay before you go. Even at food stalls or tiny shops, card is the only way to pay. Even the vending machines and photo booths are card-only. I saw multiple people confused and fumbling for coins, and the staff couldn’t really help them. Just assume nothing takes cash and you’ll be fine. It’s a smooth process once you’re prepared. Also, everything’s expensive. Expect to pay nearly double what you would outside the Expo for meals, snacks, and drinks. A basic meal can easily cost over ¥2,000, so come prepared to spend. Dietary restrictions? Way more options than expected If you’re visiting with dietary restrictions, don’t worry. The Expo has you covered more than you'd expect. From halal-friendly meals to vegetarian and allergy-conscious choices, there's something for many kinds of eaters. The pavilions from Muslim-majority countries like Malaysia, Kuwait, and Indonesia offer a generous selection of halal dishes, but that’s not all. You’ll also find vegetarian noodles, gluten-free snacks, and plant-based bento boxes across various zones. Even Japanese chains like Sushiro surprised visitors by offering halal soy sauce, something rare to come by. The Global Zone is especially worth exploring for its variety of international cuisines accommodating different dietary preferences, whether religious, personal, or health-based. What no one tells you about the actual layout The Expo site is massive. It’s not just a quick loop around a park. Pavilions are spread across wide distances, with plenty of outdoor walking in between. The signage is clear and the pathways are well-maintained, but you’re going to be on your feet for hours. Wear comfortable shoes. Bring a reusable water bottle. Sunscreen, a hat, and even a mini fan can make a huge difference, especially if you’re visiting in the warmer months. Also, if you’re going with kids or older family members, consider planning breaks and checking where the shaded rest areas are located in advance. My Final Thoughts The Expo was a great experience, but there are definitely things I wish I had known before going. It’s smoother than it looks online if you prepare smartly, book early slots, skip the cash, and don’t believe everything about the food scene. Honestly, it deserves better coverage, especially for diverse and international visitors. I left feeling excited, not exhausted. Despite the walking and sun, it felt like being part of something global and meaningful. The pavilions were thoughtful, the tech was amazing, and the crowd felt genuinely happy to be there. It was more than worth the hype; it just needed a better guide. Featured Photo Credit: The Atlantic Has the Expo left you wanting to explore more of Osaka?
