Enjoying Osaka Expo 2025 Night Admission in Just 2 Hours!

I visited the Osaka Expo during its opening week in April. At that time, I had a 10 AM reservation, but due to long lines, I waited for about an hour and entered at 11 AM. I spent around 3 hours enjoying the daytime experience until I left at 2 PM. I was so satisfied with the experience that I wanted to visit again at night. So, I booked a night ticket for late June and revisited the expo. Night admission is available from 5 PM to 9 PM, and I arrived around 7 PM. I also chose a hotel close to the expo venue. The hotel shuttle took me to Cosmosquare Station, right in front of the expo. Entering at 7 PM was seamless, with no lines at all. I visited the Wind Area, where many Japanese companies were showcased, and the Atom Pavilion, both of which required only about 7 minutes of waiting. Even the official souvenir shop, which seemed daunting during the day, was easy to enter after 8 PM without any lines. I spent 5,000 yen on Hello Kitty merchandise but didn’t end up buying anything from the Atom Pavilion. The highlight of the visit was taking stunning night photos. At 9 PM, I left for Yumeshima Station. The journey back to the hotel involved three transfers. Even with just 2 hours, I was able to fully enjoy the atmosphere of the expo. Thank you!
