The Japan International Exposition, 2025, updated the pavilion information for the “Osaka-Kansai Expo” reservation lottery on June 9.

There are up to three pre-reservation slots available for pavilion events, details of which are as follows

Lottery 2 months in advance: 3 months to 2 months prior to the visit

7 days before lottery: 1 month to 8 days before the show

First-come, first-served reservations for available slots: 3 days prior to visitation – 1 day prior to visitation

There is also a “same-day registration” slot that can be additionally applied for 10 minutes after admission, and once one slot, including advance reservations, has been used up (experienced), a new slot can be reserved.

In addition to the gradual expansion of additional reservations for the afternoon on the same day, admission has been accelerated by 5 minutes (Early Gate Open) since May 25 and by 1 hour (Twilight Campaign) for nighttime tickets since May 7.

The updated list includes all the information on the pavilions that are eligible for the two-month and seven-day advance drawings.

However, depending on the schedule, the pavilion/event organizer may stop accepting reservations. For the latest information, please check the actual reservation screen on the “My Ticket” page of the EXPO 2025 digital ticket.
