“Reservable Ticket Vouchers” for Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan (hereinafter referred to as “the Expo”) are currently on sale only in Japan, which allow visitors to enter the Expo site without having to make a reservation, except during certain periods (specified peak days) when congestion is expected. They are available for purchase at multi-function terminals (available in Japanese only)[BP1] in convenience stores and travel agencies. However, due to the expected increase in congestion during the latter half of the Expo and the decreasing number of days on which these ticket vouchers can be used without reservations, sales of Reservable Ticket Vouchers will end on Thursday, 31 July 2025.
In addition, the number of days on which Reservable Ticket Vouchers can be used without reservations has been expanded. Holders of Reservable Ticket Vouchers can use them without making reservations from Tuesday, 1 July to Friday, 8 August. After that, the Reservable Ticket Vouchers can only be used to enter the Expo site without reservations from Monday, 1 September to Friday, 12 September, so it is recommended to use them early.
