The Japan Association for the 2025 World Exposition (hereinafter referred to as “the Association”) prohibits visitors from bringing large baggage as the suitcases, carry-on cases, and carts to the site of Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan (hereinafter referred to as “the Expo”) to reduce congestion on public transport, maintain order, ensure the safe and security at the Expo site.
If you have large baggage, please leave it at your hotel or in a locker at your departure train station or the airport before you come to the Expo site.
The Association has set up temporary storage facilities for large baggage and other items (cost: JPY ￥1,000/item) off-site at Bentencho and Sakurajima Stations. A delivery service for large baggage (cost: from JPY ￥1,500/item) to accommodation and other locations is also available there.
If you have brought large baggage to the Expo site, please go to the temporary storage areas at Bentencho and Sakurajima Stations and leave your large baggage there, then come back to the Expo site.
The large baggage storage service at the East and West Gates of the Expo site have space for only 100 items each (cost: JPY ￥10,000/piece). Approximately 60% of visitors arriving with large baggage are have to return to Sakurajima Station or Bentenchō Station. Storage capacity at each Gate is extremely limited and with even more visitors anticipated as the Expo approaches its closing, we kindly request all visitors leave their large baggage at off-site storage facilities to ensure smooth entry to the Expo site.
