[Osaka Kansai Expo] Pavilions are crowded but you can line up without a reservation

With less than a month until the Osaka-Kansai Expo closes,
it's already packed with over 200,000 people every day.
While it's difficult to purchase tickets now, if you have one, we recommend the "France Pavilion."

Enjoy a variety of exhibits themed around "Hymne amore."
Don't miss the stylish exhibits from well-known luxury brands like Louis Vuitton and Celine!

Pavilion Name: France Pavilion
Area: Empowering Zone
Duration: Approximately 40-60 minutes
Estimated Wait Time: 30-240 minutes

This popular pavilion has been featured on social media as a must-visit.
While you'll have to wait in line, there's still a chance to get in, as it's not a lottery.
While the line is long, it moves relatively quickly, so the wait time feels shorter.

Right after entering, many people head to the Italy Pavilion at the West Gate and the America Pavilion at the East Gate, so you have a chance to enter without waiting! Considering how busy it will be from now on, you'll be lucky if you can get in within an hour or so!

It gets incredibly crowded during the day, and the lines at the pavilions are the longest. In the evening, when the night shows and fireworks are on, everyone heads there, so the lines may be a little shorter!

Nearly 200,000 visitors attended that day, but we watched the fireworks from the top of the large roof ring near the France Pavilion (near the escalators) and immediately joined the line after they finished.

I was lucky with my timing, and was able to enter in about 30-40 minutes!

Let's enjoy the short time left of the Osaka-Kansai Expo!
