Opening Ticket
This ticket allows one admission to the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan from April 13 to April 26, when the Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan opens.
These tickets are perfect for those who want to enjoy the Expo as soon as it opens. In addition, the ticket price is lower than other tickets!
| Admission Period | Adult(18 years old and over) | Junior(12 to 17 years old) | Child(4 to 11 years old) |
| April 13-26 | 4,000 yen | 2,200 yen | 1,000 yen |
First-Half Period Ticket
This ticket allows one admission from April 13 to July 18, the opening day of the Expo.
It is also said to be the “most targeted ticket” because data from past Expos show that the Expo is relatively uncrowded for a while after the opening of the event. Ticket prices are also reasonable.
| Admission Period | Adult(18 years old and over) | Junior(12 to 17 years old) | Child(4 to 11 years old) |
| April 13 – July 18 | 5,000 yen | 3,000 yen | 1,200 yen |
Super Early Bird Ticket
This ticket allows one admission at any time during the exhibition period.
The special feature of this ticket is that it can be used anytime between the opening of Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai and its closing on October 13. If you are thinking of going to the Expo but cannot make a specific schedule, you may want to secure this super-early-bird one-day ticket.
The price is also about 20% less than the one-day ticket (7,500 yen) that can be purchased after the opening of the Expo.
| Admission Period | Adult(18 years old and over) | Junior(12 to 17 years old) | Child(4 to 11 years old) |
| April 13 – October 13 | 6,000 yen | 3,500 yen | 1,500 yen |
There is also one more point to be inferred from the super early-bird discount one-day ticket.
It is that you can participate in a special super early-bird lottery!
With regular tickets, you can only apply for the pavilion/event reservation lottery three months prior to the admission date, but if you purchase a super early-bird one-day ticket, you can apply between September 25 and October 6, 2024, and if you win the lottery, you will be able to make a reservation for admission as of October 12, 2024.
This is recommended for those who want to increase their chances of going to the pavilions and events they are looking forward to, even though they will be selected by lottery.
The purchase period is open until October 6, 2024.
Early Bird Ticket
One admission ticket at any time during the exhibition period.
Super Early Bird One-Day Tickets can be purchased after the sales period (until October 6, 2024) ends. In other words, the purchase period is from October 7, 2024 until the Expo opens.

The purchase period is open until April 12, 2025.
Multiple-Entry Pass
The Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan is a very large venue, with pavilions of various countries and companies as well as events taking place, so it must be difficult to visit everything in one day. For those who want to visit the Expo more than once, we recommend the multiple-entry pass. There are two types.
Season Pass
This ticket allows admission after 11:00 a.m. every day from April 13, the opening day, through October 3.
The Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan will be open from 9:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., so you may feel like you are missing out a bit by entering at 11:00 a.m., but you will still have a full 11 hours of fun. 11 hours is plenty for that day!

A Season Passs allows up to three visit dates and times to be reserved prior to the visit. Then, after one visit, a fourth visit date and time can be reserved, and so on. In other words, since you can make reservations each time you visit the Expo, the Full Year Pass is highly recommended for those who want to experience every inch of the Expo!
Note, however, that the Full-Year Pass does not allow admission after October 4, 2025.
