Transportation Information
Since the Expo’s opening, the waiting time at the West Gate has been much shorter than that at the East Gate. There have also been no significant delays or congestion for shuttle buses arriving at the West Gate (including shuttle buses from major stations, airport buses, P&R [Park & Ride] buses from P&R parking areas). We encourage you to consider using these bus services.
Points to Consider When Using Shuttle Buses Arriving at the West Gate
〇Shuttle Buses from Major Train Stations (Excluding Sakurajima Station)
・All buses require reservations, so you are guaranteed a seat.
〇Shuttle Buses from Sakurajima Station
・Priority boarding is given to passengers who have paid in advance.
・Those who have not paid in advance may experience long wait times for boarding depending on congestion levels.
・We highly recommend completing payment in advance.
〇Park & Ride Shuttle Buses from Designated Parking Areas
・Expo P&R Parking in Maishima, Amagasaki, and Sakai are currently available during the Expo.
・Parking fees include bus fare (charged per vehicle, regardless of the number of passengers).
・When several people ride together, the price per person becomes more economical.
・Please consider using Expo P&R Parking if you plan to use a private vehicle.
・Private vehicles are not allowed to enter Yumeshima.
・To access Maishima P&R Parking, exit the expressway at Wangan Maishima Exit, cross the Konohana Bridge, then go straight at the Maishima Higashi intersection.
・Please refer to the following map codes for Maishima Expo P&R Parking:
Maishima P&R Parking A: 1272553*78
