If you’re in Japan during the time of the Expo, it’s highly recommended to plan your visit in advance. Not only because of the scale of the event, but also due to the opportunity it offers to experience the latest technological and cultural advancements from countries around the world. Given its popularity and the expected large crowds, it is strongly advised to purchase tickets ahead of time. This will allow you to choose the exact day and time slot for your visit, which is key to enjoying the experience without stress.

That said, it’s important to note that while there is an official website to purchase tickets, the process can be somewhat complicated—especially for those unfamiliar with Japanese systems. In this guide, we’ll walk you through how to plan your visit smoothly. The official Expo website (available in Spanish) offers direct ticket purchase. However, if you are traveling in a group of more than 15 people, tickets are available at a discounted rate and must be purchased through authorized tour operators. The website provides a list of these agencies, which will handle the purchase and group booking process.

For those needing individual tickets, the process on the official website can be a bit cumbersome. As a result, alternative platforms like klook.com, expo.osaka-tickets.com, or tiqets.com have emerged to simplify the ticket-buying experience. These sites allow you to select the date and time intuitively and often provide customer support in multiple languages, making the process much easier. For this reason, we recommend these platforms to speed up your planning.

Once you’ve purchased your tickets, you’ll receive a document with a reference number. With this number, you’ll need to go to the official Expo website or download the official Expo app. There, you’ll find a section called Registration Site, where you’ll create your ExpoID and a password. Then, you’ll need to fill in your contact information and, at the end of the process, activate your ticket. Once activated, a personal QR code will be generated for you to access the venue on the day of your visit. Keep in mind that each pavilion within the Expo has its own access system, so if you want to avoid waiting in line, it’s best to pre-register for the pavilions you’re interested in and reserve a time slot.
