Expo 2025 Osaka is projected to attract approximately 28.2 million visitors according to a target set by the Japanese government and the Expo organisers, which averages out to about 150,000 visitors per day. With such a figure, crowds are to be expected, which means lots of waiting in line to enter the pavilions, sometimes for hours.
Some pavilions require reservation, but even then, an entry spot is not guaranteed, which means unless you want to spend weeks visiting the Expo, you’ll need to narrow down which pavilions to visit.
I spent three days at the Expo and managed to cover some pavilions that I wanted to see, but also had no luck with others.
Below are the ones I visited and would recommend.
