2025 Osaka Expo Must-See Guide: Efficient Check-in Tips and Practical Advice

#OsakaExpo
Exhibition Period and Transportation Planning
The 2025 Osaka Expo will be held from April 13 to October 13 on Yumeshima, an artificial island in Osaka Bay, focusing on the theme "Designing Future Society." It is recommended to take the Osaka Metro Chuo Line to Yumeshima Station, where the East Gate entrance is right outside, avoiding driving restrictions. If departing from Kansai Airport or the city center, you can choose airport buses or shuttle buses and avoid the 8-10 AM commuting peak hours.

Tickets and Reservation Strategy
Tickets are available as single-day passes, full passes, and night tickets, and you must reserve your entry time slot in advance on the official website. Popular pavilions such as the Japan Pavilion, Saudi Pavilion, and China Pavilion require additional reservations, so it is recommended to book immediately after purchasing tickets. To avoid crowds, consider visiting on weekdays in April or May or during night hours.

Must-See Pavilion Highlights
- Japan Pavilion: Centered on "Life Cycle," combining holographic projections and AI guides, with the central garden’s water and light effects as a popular photo spot.
- China Pavilion: Featuring a bamboo slip exterior with lunar soil contrast displays and AI Sun Wukong interactions, showcasing the fusion of green technology and traditional culture.
- Saudi Pavilion: A 360-degree LED dome simulating desert auroras, with a barefoot sand installation replicating geological textures.
- Corporate Pavilion: Includes a 17-meter physical mecha from the Gundam Future Pavilion and a space elevator theater, attracting anime fans.

Practical Tips
1. Essentials: Portable charger (cashless payments only), lightweight raincoat (island’s variable weather), water bottle (free water refill stations inside).
2. Dining Suggestions: Bring light snacks to avoid restaurant queues or try specialty dining like Michelin cuisine at the France Pavilion.
3. Route Planning: Visit popular national pavilions in the morning, then head to corporate pavilions and art installations in the afternoon, and in the evening, climb the "Big Roof" circular rooftop for panoramic views.

Important Notes
No luggage, selfie sticks, or bottled drinks allowed. It is recommended to screenshot your entry QR code in advance to prevent issues if offline. If you have limited stamina, make good use of free shuttle carts or loop buses.
