The West Gate offers convenient access for those arriving by shuttle bus, park-and-ride bus, highway bus, ferry, or bicycle.   ▼For more details▼ Transportation Guide of Osaka Expo 2025: How to get to the venue from Osaka, Namba, Kansai Airport, and Shin-Osaka Tickets for EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai are available in several types: Single Entry Tickets, Multi-Visit Passes, Special Discount Tickets, and Group Tickets. Here, we’ll focus on the Single Entry Ticket.   There are three types of Single Entry Tickets: Weekday Ticket/Night Ticket/One-Day Ticket. Each ticket type is priced based on age categories: Adult (18 and over)/Junior (ages 12–17)/Child (ages 4–11). Children under 3 years old can enter for free. However, if they require a seat at a pavilion or event, a free ticket can be issued in advance.   Admission to most pavilions is included in the ticket price, with the exception of select paid events.   Adult（18 and over） Junior（12～17） Child（4～11） Weekday Ticket 6,000JPY 3,500JPY 1,500JPY Night Ticket 3,700JPY 2,000JPY 1,000JPY One-Day Ticket 7,500JPY 4,200JPY 1,800JPY   To purchase tickets for EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai, registration for an EXPO ID is required via the official ticketing website. If you’re buying tickets for your family, only one representative needs to register for an EXPO ID—this allows entry for the entire group under that account. Once the EXPO ID registration is complete, log in to the ticketing website to purchase your tickets.   If online reservation is difficult, ticket vouchers can also be purchased at major convenience stores in Japan, including 7-Eleven, Lawson, FamilyMart, and Ministop. These vouchers can be exchanged for official paper tickets with a QR code at ticket exchange counters located near the EXPO entrance gates. However, when using a convenience store voucher, an EXPO ID is not required. However, some services—such as entry time reservation and pavilion viewing reservations—will not be available, so plan accordingly. @media screen and (max-width:700px) {iframe{width:100%;height:120vw;}}@media screen and (min-width:701px){iframe{width:640px;height:480px;}} To attend EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai, visitors must reserve their visit date and time through the official ticketing website. 　During this process, you’ll need to select: The entry gate: East Gate or West Gate Your arrival time slot: Choose from 9:00–, 10:00–, 11:00–, 12:00–, or 17:00– * If you want to arrive at 15:00, you must select the 12:00– time slot.   After completing your entry reservation, you can apply for a lottery to reserve popular pavilions and events. While reservations aren’t mandatory, having one significantly reduces wait times and enhances your experience.   There are four types of reservation opportunities: Two months in advance / 7 days in advance / 3 days in advance / Same-day reservation Each person can hold up to 3 reservations, with one slot available in each advance reservation window (2-month, 7-day, and 3-day).   Details 2-month advance ・From 3 months to the day before 2 months prior to the visit date ・Register up to 5 choices; only 1 pavilion or event can be selected if won 7-day advance ・From 1 month to 8 days prior to the visit date ・Register up to 5 choices; only 1 pavilion or event can be selected if won 3-day advance ・From 3 days to 9:00 a.m. the day before the visit date, on a first-come, first-served basis ・1 slot per person only Same-day reservation You can make your next reservation 10 minutes after passing through the entrance gate, or 10 minutes after using or canceling a reservation @media screen and (max-width:700px) {iframe{width:100%;height:120vw;}}@media screen and (min-width:701px){iframe{width:640px;height:480px;}} EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai spans approximately 155 hectares—equivalent to about 217 soccer fields. Many visitors have reported walking over 20,000 steps in a single day, so wearing comfortable clothing is highly recommended. Additionally, some pavilions require you to remove your shoes or socks, so it’s best to wear footwear that’s both easy to walk in and easy to take off and put on.   Here are the recommended items to bring with you to EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai:   ・Screenshot of your admission QR code You may be asked to show it again at certain pavilions after entering the venue.   ・Printed map Since maps of EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai are sold for a fee, it’s a good idea to print one from the official website　 and bring it with you.   ・Phone battery/charger In addition to being required for entry, your phone will be needed to make same-day reservations, which can quickly drain the battery. If you plan to stay until the evening, a portable charger is essential.   ・Water bottle Water dispensers are available throughout the venue, so having your own bottle makes it easier to stay hydrated.   ・Snacks While there are many food options onsite, if you’d rather save time or money, bring snacks or candy that you can eat while waiting in line.   ・Trash bag Trash bins are limited throughout the venue, so carrying a small bag for your garbage will help you stay organized.   In addition, the EXPO site offers little shade, so heat protection is essential, especially after May. August is typically the hottest month in Japan, with daytime highs over 30°C (86°F) and even mornings and evenings staying around 25°C (77°F), often with high humidity. Be sure to bring a hat, sunscreen, and consider uniquely Japanese heat countermeasures such as a parasol or frozen bottled drinks available at convenience stores.   Note: Large luggage such as suitcases, rolling bags, or carts for transporting goods is not allowed inside the EXPO 2025 venue. The maximum size allowed is W600mm × D900mm × H400mm. If you are carrying oversized items, be sure to leave them in a locker at your hotel, a train station, or the airport in advance.   If you’re in Osaka Umeda and need to store luggage, the Hankyu Tourist Center, Osaka-Umeda is a convenient option.   ▼For more details▼ Hands-Free Travel | Baggage Storage and Delivery Services at Hankyu Tourist Center in Osaka Umeda Station With over 180 pavilions at EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai, it’s a good idea to decide in advance which ones you want to visit for a smoother experience.
