Recently, I visited Expo 2025 Osaka with my family, and in this article, I’ll share practical tips from our real experience to help you prepare and make the most of your visit.
If You Want the Best Experience, Choose West Gate at 9:00 AM!
For visitors aiming to enjoy Expo 2025 to the fullest, I strongly recommend entering through the West Gate at 9:00 AM. This gives you the best shot at visiting popular pavilions before they get too crowded.
Ticket Reservations Include Time and Gate
When reserving your ticket, you don’t just pick the date—you also choose your entry time and entry gate. Plan carefully, as this decision will shape your entire day at the expo.
Which Gate to Choose
- By Train: East Gate is usually the most convenient.
- By Shuttle Bus from major stations: West Gate is your best option.
Crowd Considerations
Between 9:00 and 10:00 AM, the entry lines can be extremely long. If you have small children or prefer a less stressful start, consider entering after 11:00 AM when the crowd has thinned. This can make your day more relaxed and enjoyable.
