On the final day of Japan's ever-popular Expo, a staggering line of over 400m of tents and sleeping bags was observed. Despite being the concluding day of the annual event, people continued to flock and stay overnight, indicating the event's enduring popularity and significance in Japanese culture. This phenomenon is a testament to the nation's enthusiasm for such cultural gatherings, where people get a chance to express their creativity, share ideas, and engage with the ongoings in an immersive way.

In Japan, Expos are viewed as not just events, but opportunities for community building and cultural exchange. The sight of tents and sleeping bags symbolizes the dedication and absolute delight of the participants. It also reflects the communal spirit, public safety, and the high social value placed on these gatherings, emphasizing their significance in cementing societal bonds.

In comparison, large scale events in the US or EU seldom see people camping out in such numbers at event sites. The culture of camping out is usually seen during music festivals or outdoor sports events. Such visible commitment and community participation reflect a unique aspect of Japanese culture not often seen in Western societies.
