500 days until Osaka Expo! Advantageous advance tickets are now on sale! Easy-to-understand explanation of how to purchase

2025年大阪万博

Osaka Expo to be held in 2025! Wide shows often talk about construction costs, etc., and some people have a negative image of it, but the Tora Guide editorial department welcomes it!

I’m looking forward to seeing people from all over the world gather in Osaka as a result of the Expo and enjoy sightseeing in Minami on their way there and back, which will make Minami even more exciting!

Such is the Osaka Expo. With less than 500 days until the event, advance tickets are now on sale! There are also early bird discounts that allow you to purchase tickets at a discount!

How to purchase Osaka Expo tickets

Starting this time, all Osaka Expo tickets will be managed electronically. The key point is that it is not a real paper ticket.

Fully electronic ticket management for Expo tickets

Since it is not a ticket, it is currently only available for purchase online, and
purchasing requires steps such as registering an Expo ID.

Steps from purchasing tickets to entering on the day

  1. Register your Expo ID before purchasing tickets
  2. Purchase tickets at the official ticket site!
  3. Reserve your visit date and time
  4. Reservations for viewing pavilions, events, exhibitions, etc.

Because of the electronic tickets and perhaps for security reasons, in order to visit the Expo, you must first register your Expo ID, purchase a ticket, and then make reservations for the date and time of your visit, pavilions, events, etc. However, it seems a little confusing.

How do I reserve the date and time of my visit?

What’s even more confusing is how to make reservations for the date and time of your visit.

Information regarding the date and time of your visit as of December 2023 is as follows: “To visit, you will need to make a reservation for the date and time of your visit.We will provide further information on how to make a reservation.”The information is not yet decided.

The only steps that can be taken are obtaining an Expo ID and purchasing advance tickets.
