2025 Osaka Expo｜Early Arrival and Reservations Are Key to Enjoying the Event!

I planned a full day at the 2025 Osaka Expo, and I must say that advance planning is absolutely essential! We reserved a 9 AM entry slot and arrived at the venue by 8 AM to queue up. Even at that early hour, there were already plenty of people waiting to get in. The popularity of the Expo is truly impressive! 🔥 There are numerous pavilions, but many of the popular ones require advance lottery-based reservations, such as the Gundam Pavilion, Monster Hunter Pavilion, and null2 Pavilion. These cannot be accessed on-site without prior arrangements, so if you don’t plan ahead, you’ll only be able to take photos from the outside. For first-time visitors, I recommend selecting a few must-see themed pavilions to reserve in advance, and then using the remaining time to explore freely. The venue is enormous, so make sure to wear comfortable shoes, bring water, and prepare a schedule! Overall, the experience is incredibly enriching. With proper preparation, you can truly make the most of your visit.
