2025.06.25 Latest Information on Reservations for Pavilions and Events ~Reserve Your Visit Early and Take Advantage of Advance Reservations~

At Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan (hereinafter referred to as “the Expo”), there are many pavilions, mainly Official Participants’ Pavilions, that can be enjoyed without reservations. There is also a variety of events such as National Days and Special Days held daily by Official Participants. However, some pavilions and events offer multiple opportunities to make reservations.
The Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition provides the latest information on the lottery winning rates and number of reservation slots available, based on the results from the first two months since the start of the Expo.
Towards the latter half of the Expo, even more visitors are expected, so it may become difficult to secure reservations for your preferred dates and times. We encourage you to reserve your visit early and make use of the pavilion and event reservations to ensure a more enjoyable and comfortable experience at the Expo with minimal waiting time.
We look forward to seeing you at the Expo site.

Latest Information on Reservations for Pavilions and Events 

There are three opportunities to make advance reservations for pavilions and events: two lotteries (the “2-month advance lottery” and the “7-day advance lottery”) and one on a first-come, first-served basis (“3-day advance available slot reservation”).

The 2-month advance lottery held two months before the date of visit has a higher winning rate than the 7-day advance lottery held one week before the date of visit, making it easier to make advance reservations for your preferred pavilions and events. Reserve your visit early and take advantage of the 2-month advance lottery.

The 3-day advance available slot reservation allows you to reserve vacancies that were not selected in the 2-month advance lottery and 7-day advance lottery, on a first-come, first-served basis. There are a large number of applications for a limited number of reservation slots. Therefore, please note that even if you wait for the reservations to open at midnight every day, there is a high possibility that you will not be able to secure your preferred reservation slot.

For “on-site (same-day) registration,” which becomes available after entering the Expo site on the day of your visit, reservation slots tend to fill up within about two hours after the site opens. However, some pavilions release reservation slots throughout the day, so there is another chance to make a reservation even if you visit in the afternoon.

2-month advance lottery
The average winning rate for July visit dates was approximately 80%, and on days with a large number of visitors, approximately 60%.

7-day advance lottery
The average winning rate for May visit dates was approximately 50%, and on days with a large number of visitors, approximately 30%.

3-day advance available slot reservation
There are about 10 pavilions that provide hundreds to over 1,000 reservation slots every day, including Future City, Joint Pavilion Iida Group x Osaka Metropolitan University, and BLUE OCEAN DOME, which account for more than 90% of all slots for 3 day-advance available slot reservations, whereas the number and types of other reservation slots are very limited.
Within an hour after reservations open at midnight every day, only about 1,000 available slots remain, and within about two hours, almost all reservation slots are gone.

On-site (same-day) registration
Based on the results for May, within an hour after the 9:00 opening, there are about 1,000 to 2,000 available reservation slots, and within about two hours, the reservation slots are mostly filled.
Afterwards, multiple pavilions release several hundred to 2,000 reservation slots every hour throughout the day.

About the Pavilion and Event Lotteries

Point 1▶ You can register up to your fifth choice in the lottery *Only one slot will be awarded.
In each lottery, you can select and apply for up to your fifth choice of pavilion/event. Of these, only one slot will be awarded by lottery.

Point 2 ▶ How to increase your chances of winning

A large number of visitors are expected to apply for reservations to view pavilions and events on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, especially for slots from midday to late afternoon. Some pavilions and events also have a limited number of available slots.

Therefore, it is recommended that you refer to the table below and apply for up to five choices by combining time slots that have relatively lower demand, such as mornings and evenings after 17:00, with pavilions and events that have a large number of available slots. Please note that any available slots that were not filled in the 2-month advance lottery or 7-day advance lottery can be reserved in the 3-day advance available slot reservation on a first-come, first-served basis.
