【大阪万博】夏は夜間券が最高！効率的に回るためにやるべきこと13選/OSAKA EXPO2025

Do you know about the night tickets for the Osaka Expo? Night tickets = tickets from 4 PM, allowing you to enjoy the summer expo comfortably Night tickets = highly recommended for summer! The benefits of night tickets can be broadly divided into the following three points! The summer Osaka Expo is hot and tough! The number of visitors exceeds 100,000 every day, and it’s hard to even get into the rest areas… Many people are tired and leave early In that regard, the evening ticket allows entry from 4 PM, avoiding the hottest part of the day You can enjoy the expo concentrated from the evening to night The evening ticket states that entry starts at 5 PM Twilight campaign starting from 5/7 Entry available from 16:00, one hour earlier This campaign seems likely to continue until the end of the Expo Entry starts at 4 PM, one hour earlier This one hour is significant! More people leave after the evening The lines at each pavilion are shorter, reducing wait times to enter the pavilions Especially after 7 PM, the number of pavilions you can enter without waiting has drastically increased! Efficiently tour the pavilions! However, there are also drawbacks to the night tickets 100,000 people have entered before 4 PM There are almost no same-day reservations available Same-day reservations with a night ticket are difficult Night tickets allow entry after 4 PM Closing time is 10 PM → Maximum stay is 6 hours To fully enjoy the night ticket, it is important to efficiently navigate the 6 hours from 4 PM to 10 PM Night tickets can be used for entry starting at 4 PM Arriving at the gate at 4 PM is too late I arrived at Yumeshima Station at 3:30 PM, 30 minutes before entering with a night ticket on Sunday, July 6 Although we can’t enter until 4 PM, there are already many people! Gradually making our way to the gate while taking a detour It was a hot summer day Most people were using parasols The umbrella hit my face, and it’s quite painful Security check at the East Gate In the morning, there are about 26 spots up to the end The night tickets have fewer attendees, resulting in a reduced number of security personnel at 20 locations Next, here’s some detailed and subtle insider information! The security gates are arranged in a zigzag pattern like this The distance to line up is shorter at the front security compared to the one at the back Let’s line up at the security gate in the front row! You can shorten the waiting time by about 5 minutes! We lined up for about 30 minutes starting at 3:30 PM and were able to enter almost exactly at 4 PM! There is an information desk right after entering through the East Gate! The paper venue guide map costs 200 yen You can check the event information, location, and time for the day! If you have any questions, you can ask the staff directly! The location of the Osaka Expo is along the coast There are many days with strong winds, and the night drone show tends to be canceled Are we having a drone show? Let’s check at the information center! There’s a marketplace right next to the information center Goods and souvenirs from the Osaka Expo are being sold! This is the marketplace at the East Gate As soon as you enter the West Gate, there’s also a marketplace right in front! The popular Myakumyaku merchandise There are many options, so I recommend it! You need to line up in a queue before entering the store I’ve heard that it gets quite crowded at night I waited in line for about 20 minutes from 4 PM and got inside to buy some Expo merchandise! However, I found out later that you shouldn’t line up at the marketplace in the evening When I came back around 9 PM, it wasn’t that crowded (The fountain show resumed on July 11, so it might get busy in the future.) If you line up by 9:20 PM, they’ll let you in! Will you wait about 30 minutes? I don’t think it will take that long If you line up, you can smoothly enter the store You have to line up by 21:20! Thank you! The Expo ends all pavilions at 21:00 Cannot enter Staff of the Portugal Pavilion! The escalator in the large roof ring will not go up anymore After 9 PM, basically just going home Nothing can be done after 9 PM Once it hits 9 PM, hurry to line up at the marketplace! It’s efficient to line up by 9:20 and buy goods inside before the closing at 10 PM! I’m worried if I can make it to the marketplace by 9:20 There is an official merchandise booth for the wagon under the large roof ring You can buy without waiting! (The selection is limited) Buy some goods here to secure your souvenirs! Head to the marketplace by 21:20 It’s a good idea to buy additional goods while looking at a lot of merchandise! Enter through the East Gate and head towards the large roof ring where the Myakumyaku statue is located! Myakumyaku is very popular Taking a commemorative photo together is also a line If you take the photo from a little distance, you can shoot without waiting The back view of Myakumyaku! Its tail is distinctive and cute! Taking a photo with Myakumyaku’s back view I recommend it! The symbol of the Osaka Expo The large roof ring is an impressive structure Approximately 30 meters wide and 20 meters high About 2 kilometers around About 27,000m3 of wood! Certified as the world’s largest wooden structure by Guinness! Has there ever been such a massive building in the long history of expos? Walking under the large roof, you can see the combination of each individual tree I was overwhelmed by the height and size! When you go up the escalator, the view is amazing! The area above the large roof ring is two stories high! You can go up to the higher outer ring via the slope Walking on the ring that juts out into the sea, the sea breeze is strong and the view is fantastic! While the pavilions from various countries are nice, let’s enjoy the symbol of the Osaka Expo, the large roof ring! Not only are there pavilions from different countries exhibiting at the expo, but they also regularly hold dance and music live performances from those countries! You can enjoy them for free without entering the pavilions! Highly recommended! The times for the live performances are not publicly announced When you hear music, it’s good to go see a live performance nearby! Beautiful traditional costumes, unique music, and dance It’s the best to see it up close! This is the true essence of the Expo! The pavilion that had a long line during the day Many pavilions become less crowded after 7 PM There was a long line during the day Singapore Uzbekistan Indonesia Saudi Arabia It is less crowded after 7 PM I was able to enter Bangladesh, Senegal, Cambodia, Algeria, and Tunisia almost without any waiting time In the evening, I enjoyed the large roof ring and various countries’ dances and shows If you have time at night, I recommend efficiently touring the pavilions Inokawa = This coffee The small country of Burundi located in Central Africa! It’s so much fun to sing with the Burundians and to see up close the Palestinian crafts that were delayed at the Israeli checkpoint! Let’s explore the various pavilions of the Commons and experience the cultures of many countries! Each country has its own stamp If you go to the Commons, you can quickly increase your stamp collection! At the Osaka Expo, there are over 200 stamps from various pavilions both inside and outside the venue! There are many unique stamps! It’s fun to collect them by stamping Null2’s stamps are quite unique! Collecting the official stamp passport stamps will create good memories It’s also okay to stamp on the notebooks or memo pads you bring! At the stamp location 3D figures of Pikachu, Snorlax, and Mew are set up You can take commemorative photos! Snorlax is cute and very popular! Lapras near the Water Plaza So cute and amazing! Let’s enjoy Pokémon Go with the rare character ‘Unown’ at the Expo related to the World Expo If you enter with a night ticket at 4 PM, you can make same-day reservations starting 10 minutes later Many people have already entered with a one-day ticket People who have already entered
have made reservations for the day Completely full I want to eat foreign cuisine, not just dishes that can be eaten anytime! Since time is limited, I want to have dinner efficiently! Here are my recommendations! Samurai Curry from Bangladesh! Samurai Curry can be enjoyed at the Grand Food Court in the Wind Square ‘Marketplace D’ Bangladesh is a small country next to India, with only 40% of Japan’s land area With a population of 160 million, it is the most densely populated country in the world! It is still a developing country where children cannot get enough food Providing this Samurai Curry to school lunches and children Gaining attention as a social project connecting future food and education Participate in support by eating Samurai Curry 1500 yen is a bit expensive, but I really want everyone to try it as support for the children In Bangladesh, curry is the main dish, just like in India Japanese-style curry includes ingredients like carrots, potatoes, and ground meat It uses a rice flour-based roux as an allergy measure The large, firm carrots and potatoes give it a Japanese curry feel, allowing you to enjoy plenty of curry and rice The daytime scenery is great, but at night, the large roof ring is illuminated Even more charm is added I was overwhelmed by the majestic atmosphere as the trees of the large roof seemed to float in the darkness illuminated by light The night view from a position slightly away from the large roof ring is absolutely beautiful! It’s definitely Instagram-worthy! The night view from the top of the large roof allows you to see the illuminations of each pavilion, which is truly moving! Just enjoying the large roof ring alone is worth going to the Osaka Expo Such a wonderful point to note is… All escalators are down only before 9 PM You won’t be able to go up to the large roof using the elevator or stairs either Let’s enjoy the night view on the big roof ring by 8:30 at the latest Let’s walk around the pavilions while admiring the beautiful lighting of each pavilion! The World Expo has a lineup of special shows at night! A magnificent water spectacle show! Temporarily suspended due to hygiene reasons Resuming from July 11! About 300 fountain devices Water screen visuals are integrated You can enjoy a fantastic performance A show where fountains and laser projection mapping merge for 20 to 30 minutes Overwhelmingly powerful! A must-see if you go to the Expo After ‘Aoi and the Night Rainbow Parade’ at 8:30 PM, a magnificent drone show that colors the night sky at 9 PM “One World, One Planet.” Event Held A show with over 1,000 drones is very beautiful I hope drones are used for peaceful purposes like this, not for war Projection mapping event held at the EXPO Hall ‘Shine Hat’ A fantastic display of light and visuals! Created by creators from around the world Screening changes monthly! Depicting an artistic future Artworks are being screened one after another! Personally, I think about 5 minutes is enough I recommend the Aoi and Night Rainbow Parade Drone Show more Please choose according to the time Around noon I visited the Expo Memorial Park at the site of the previous Osaka Expo 1970 I saw the Tower of the Sun and the EXPO ’70 Pavilion I was able to learn a lot about the last Osaka Expo It was quite fun, so I recommend it

大阪万博の夜間券をご存じですか？
夕方4時から入場可能なチケットで、夏の万博を快適に楽しむにはかなりお勧めです。
夜間券のメリットは大きく分けて以下の3つあります。
①チケット代が安い！
1日券のチケットが7500円に対して、夜間券は約半額の3700円とお得です！

②夏の暑い時間帯を避けることができる
夏の大阪万博は暑くて大変！入場者数は毎日10万人超えで、休憩所に入るのも大変。
暑くて疲れて早めに帰る人も多いです。
その点、夜間券は最も暑い日中を避けて16時から入場なので、夕方から夜にかけて集中して万博を楽しむことができます。

ちなみに、夜間券は万博の公式ページでは17時から入場と記載されてますが5/7以降「トワイライトキャンペーン」により1時間早い16時から入場可能です。
おそらくこのキャンペーンは万博終了まで続きそうです。
1時間早い16時から入場というのはかなりお得ですよね。

③待ち時間なくパビリオンに入れる
夕方以降は帰る人が増えてくるので各パビリオン待ちの行列が減り、待ち時間短くパビリオンに入ることができます。
特に19時以降は待ち時間なく入れるパビリオンが増えますので効率よくパビリオン巡りができます。

ただし夜間券はデメリットもあります。
(1)当日予約が困難
16時前にすでに10万人くらいの方が入場しておりますので、当日予約はほぼ埋まっています。
なので、夜間券での当日予約は困難となっております。

(2)滞在時間が短い
夜間券は16時以降に入場。閉場は22時なので6時間しか滞在できません。
なので、夜間券を十分堪能するには16時から22時までの6時間を効率的に回ることが重要です。

次に夜間券で効率的に万博を楽しむためのポイントを13点、具体的に説明します。
