【Osaka-Kansai Expo】Just one month to go! Tips for enjoying even when it's crowded.

【The Great Roof Ring】
The Great Roof Ring is a must-see attraction. It's highly recommended to climb it at least once. However, it gets extremely crowded during sunset or fireworks time, so visiting earlier in the day is advisable.

【Head to the Commons Pavilion when it gets crowded】
If the venue becomes overly crowded and all the pavilions have long queues, head to the Commons Pavilion. Many countries have booths within a single building. This format is unique to the Osaka Expo and is said to be one of the reasons Osaka was chosen as the host city. The Pakistan booth, for instance, features walls and floors made of rock salt, making it particularly distinctive.

【Music from all around】
Music can be heard from various stages throughout the venue. The stages of the United Arab Emirates and Malaysia are especially worth checking out. Even if you don't queue for the pavilions, you can still enjoy the lively atmosphere.

【Nighttime Expo Stroll】
At night, the pavilions are illuminated, offering a different ambiance compared to daytime. Austria, China, and Turkmenistan are particularly noteworthy.

【Access】
The Expo venue has two gates: the West Gate and the East Gate.
The East Gate is accessible via the Yumesaki Station on the Chuo Subway Line, while the West Gate is served by shuttle buses and taxi routes. The West Gate tends to be less crowded, but most buses require reservations.
