The Japan International Exposition, 2025, updated the “Osaka-Kansai Expo” pavilion information for the reservation lottery on September 12. The Czech Pavilion is newly eligible for same-day registration.

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

2-month advance lottery: 3 months to 2 months prior to the date of your visit (all dates are closed for registration)

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 separate “same-day registration” slot that can be additionally applied for 10 minutes after admission, and once one slot is used (experienced), a new slot can be reserved. Note, however, that only same-day reservations are eligible for this service, and one space will not be released even if you have already used your advance reservation.

The updated list includes a summary of pavilions that are eligible for the 7-day advance lottery and same-day registration.

*As of September 19, all pavilions drawn 7 days in advance have been confirmed to be available for same-day registration.

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.

The dates of the National Day and Special Day and other events are listed in the “Event Information” section, while the availability of reservation slots for visitors, expected crowds, and the schedule for same-day ticket sales are provided in the “This Week at the Expo” section.
