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.
