(Events Bureau)
Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan (hereinafter referred to as “the Expo”) will close on Monday, 13 October 2025 (Japanese national holiday). We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to all those who continue to visit each day.
However, as the end of the Expo approaches, we are seeing an increase in people visiting Yumeshima without tickets and an entry date and time reserved in advance. There are no waiting areas at the East and West Entrance Plazas of the Expo site for people without admission tickets. As the Expo draws to a close, a great number of Expo attendees will be visiting Yumeshima. The entrance plazas are necessary to allow visitors to enter and exit the Expo site safely and smoothly.
To ensure the safety of all visitors and to facilitate their smooth entry and exit, we ask for your cooperation in refraining from visiting Yumeshima unless you have a ticket and an already reserved entry date and time (or wish to exchange your ticket without an entry reservation for a same-day ticket.)
