Expo 2025 in Japan a curious beast as Ireland joins nations vying to show off heritage
The Expo 2025 in Japan is a curious beast. One Irish official likened it to a crossover between the National Ploughing Championships and the Eurovision, with countries from across the globe represented, but each trying to outdo the other with bespoke pavilions showing off their national culture and heritage. The event itself takes place once every five years and runs for about six months, with Osaka the most recent city to play host. The venue is a mammoth one, with a gigantic, 2km-long raised wooden platform encircling each of the individual pavilions. The raised platform is the largest wooden structure in the world. When Taoiseach Micheál Martin arrived in the sweltering Osaka heat, he was led underneath the sprawling platform and quickly escorted to the cooler environs of the Ireland pavilion. Taoiseach Micheál Martin at the Expo 2025 Pavilion in Japan. Ireland's exhibit includes a cool black room, illuminated only by spotlights, with the sounds of Irish wildlife and a diorama of a bog from back home. As people move through the exhibit, it transitions into a literary and cultural museum of sorts, with books by famed Irish author Lafcadio Hearn — little known in Ireland but a significant influence on literature in Japan. A visit to Ireland's pavilion culminates in a 16-minute avant-garde trad performance, with interpretive dance and dread-inducing accordion, before it returns to a more céilí-like sound. People working at the site itself were at pains to point out how popular the pavilion is among locals in Osaka, recalling that a St Patrick's Day parade had drawn enormous crowds. Budget of €16.8m The overall budget allocated to the project is €16.8m, which includes construction of the pavilion but also takes account of staffing costs, fit-out, and programming across the full six-month runtime. Other pavilions also proved a hit, with the French entry taking guests on a tour throughout the country's fashion industry, with walls lined with Louis Vuitton suitcases. During his walk around the Expo, the Taoiseach ducked into the European Union's pavilion, where he took some offence to Cork not being included in a photo-booth experience of major European cities. Turning to his guide when his only Irish option was Dublin, Mr Martin said: 'Ah for God sake, is that all you have? Michael McGrath will have to be contacted." On his way out, he was ambushed by Europa, the EU's Expo mascot, and nabbed a photo alongside her. Taoiseach Micheál Martin on a visit to Expo 2025 in Osaka yesterday. As the evening drew on, guests flocked to the Ireland pavilion for a trad session, with local politicians, diplomats, and other dignitaries eagerly anticipating the evening's main event. Not a speech by the Taoiseach, but a trailer for a new Japanese morning programme based on the life of the aforementioned Lafcadio Hearne and his wife Yakumo Koizumi. While the trailer came to a close, the actor portraying Hearne made his appearance and walked up to the stage. Tommy Bastow, known for his appearances in hit series Shogun,will take on the role. The audience was transfixed, with smartphones rising in the air to catch him making his brief speech, where he touched on his own heritage, citing one of his grandparents having come from Mayo. As the speeches wound down and music picked up, glasses of Guinness and half-ones of Clonakilty whiskey were poured, before a drone show ended the evening with directions for guests to depart the park. A curious beast indeed.

Want to practice your cúpla focal? Road-trip around the most beautiful part of the Gaeltacht
Journal Media Studio / YouTube The Journal is partnering with Allianz Insurance for our Best Drives series that showcases some of the most picturesque drives across the country. For our next instalment, we're packing up the car and heading west to one of Ireland's most breathtaking routes on the Dingle Peninsula. From narrow cliffside roads to sweeping Atlantic views and ancient cultural landmarks, Dingle offers one of the most unforgettable drives in the country. Although you could spend a week driving around this beautiful part of the world, we picked one of our favourite drives. This route through one of the most popular areas in the Gaeltacht is more than just a scenic Sunday drive, it's a journey into the heart of Irish heritage. Our journey begins at the dramatic Conor Pass look-out point. We recommend taking all the safety precautions necessary if you do decide to drive it while making sure you are well prepared. However we began our route from the lookout point parking lot into Dingle town which is a safe and well-paved road where you can take in the sheer scale of the landscape. Advertisement From there, wind down into Dingle town. It's one of our favourite towns; colourful, lively, and packed with character. You can watch out for well-known boutiques and local shops before pulling in for coffee at the much-loved Out of the Blue café. Bellies full and ready to go, the coastline calls. The Slea Head Drive loop is the main event: a coastal road that hugs the cliffs and opens up to one jaw-dropping vista after another. Along the way, historical landmarks like the Gallarus Oratory and the Riasc Monastic Settlement offer a chance to step back in time and soak in the serenity of this part of the country. Further along, the road winds through Ballyferriter, where a stop at Tig Áine Café & Gallery delivers great food and panoramic views. Close by, the Blasket Centre, a cultural and historical gem provides stories of resilience, literary greats and island identities. From the centre's stunning viewing platform, take in almost 360-degree views of the wild Atlantic ocean. Talk about a photo opportunity – it doesn't get much better than this. In summer, please note that this is a one-way system for visitors based on the clockwise direction through Ventry / Ceann Trá village. Turn off your sat nav and google maps, and only follow the local road signs. This is to avoid the bottleneck of coaches and tours that often come to visit. Make sure to touch base with a local on arrival, they will be sure to offer all the help and guidance you need! Protect your next drive with Allianz Car Insurance and get 15% off online. Allianz p.l.c. is regulated by the Central Bank of Ireland. Terms, conditions and a minimum premium of €284 applies.
