2025 Osaka Expo tickets to cost ¥7,500 per adult

Adult tickets for the 2025 World Exposition in Osaka are set to cost 7,500 yen per adult. . .

Japan last held a world expo in 2005 in Aichi Prefecture, when adult tickets were priced at 4,600 yen.

That's pretty steep. More expensive than a trip to Disneyland or Universal Studios.

Seems pretty fair. Looking forward to visiting.

Who cares, make it costing 10 millions, I couldn’t even afford to get near Osaka and using slow local trains. lol

"We would like many children to come and visit, which is why we decided on pricing it this way," said Masakazu Tokura, chairman of the association.

Riiiiight. It's not able turning a profit at all...

I’ve been hearing about this expo and it’s problems for almost 8 years and I still don’t know what it is or what it’s for. Get a marketing team

There will be plenty of complimentary tickets available if you live in the city and know the right people. Mind you, I wouldn’t want to go to very busy places like that. I’m not find if that Japanese pastime of joining in long queues you see.

They’ve been working on a lot of stuff in the center to promote this, there’s something going on at the front of Takashimaya and they’ve banned vehicles.

Well, doesn’t bother me, I don’t drive, I’m eco friendly you see

Incorrect. A one-day adult ticket to Tokyo Disneyland is ¥8,900, and Universal Studios Japan is ¥8,600.

I went to the world Expo in Aichi in 2005.

Complete and utter waste of money and time. Huge queues to get into anything vaguely interesting. Ended up traipsing around halls with stalls selling handicrafts from various countries ( Nepal and Peru come to mind) at elevated prices.

You would need to pay me to go to this next one.

Not really worth it... it will be hot, humid, overcrowded and you'll go deaf from all those flying car concepts zooming around overhead. You'll be able to watch YouTube videos of the expo for free, and you can turn the volume down.

It will only be hot and humid for two months of it, or so. April, May, some of June, September, and October should be okay. (when it isn't raining.)

As for crowds, avoiding weekends and holidays is always a good idea for any leisure activity in Japan. I imagine the later months will also be better than the earlier ones, as they love new stuff in Japan. They'll line up for just about any new thing here, I've noticed, especially when featured on TV.
