Seventy seven countries attended the event, and within six months, the number of visitors reached 64,210,000 people.
In Japanese Expo '70 is often referred as ?saka Banpaku.
This fair was one of the largest and best attended expositions in history.
Like the 1964 Summer Olympics, Expo '70 was a success and served as a symbol of the extremely rapid development of Japan in the 1960s.
