The nighttime water show was sensational. Also the amount of effort put into the walking grounds was outstanding. The wood structure with no fasteners was my favourite

Pavilions were well set out and inovately presented. Loved the "Jenga style" wooden pathways surrounding the pavilions. Pity the pavilions struggled to accommodate the volume of people attending the expo

The wooden frame was amazing and it was well organized . Everything went smoothly. Only a bummer was that it started raining so end show with drones was cancelled and that the pavilion and shops closed around 9 already and that the Dutch pavilion was closed ...for a Dutchmen that was a big bummer .

It was very busy and I didn't get into many of the exibits, however full marks for the way it was created. Lived the escalator taking you up to the walkway which gave you a great view of everytbing. I did go into the Monaco pavillion which was beautiful and relaxing. Would have happilly sat in there and relaxed if there had been seating. It was very thought provoking, what are we doing to our oceans and what are we do to preserve them.

Expo Osaka is a memorable event. My favorite pavilions are Portugal, France and Korea and be sure to be present for the water and air night show. Ofcorse there should be other fantastic pavilions but it's not possible to visit all of them in two days. For example the German one outside is great but I couldn't get in. There are also nice ideas, add the bamboo bench

Long waiting times in front of many pavilions, some of which can only be visited with prior reservation anyway. If you are traveling from Europe, it is a pity that there is no other solution! However, some of the participating countries have also missed the point, it is not a tourism - or holiday fair...

Amazing experience! We arrived at 8:00 AM (the park opened at 8:30), which gave us a great head start. As soon as we got in, we headed straight to Super Nintendo World and enjoyed every bit of it. The longest wait was for Donkey Kong — but totally worth it! We stayed until 9:00 PM and managed to do all the thrill rides and scream-worthy attractions. Our top favorites: The Flying Dinosaur, Hollywood Dream, and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey — absolutely unforgettable! We visited Universal Studios as a family with two teenagers, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Japan!

The Harry Potter World was fantastic and unbeatable better then anything else. So nice Souvenirs, but unfortunatly seriously a way to expensiv. Easy ticket entrance and nice and friendly staff. I was heaps dissapointed from the Super Mario World Rides tho. Not worth it at all to wait in a queue for that! The queues in generell were to long, we missed out on heaps of things because of that. But those details in the Mario world were awesome, good on you! the Jurassic World and Harry potter world were my favourites

A must if you're planning on visiting Osaka Castle. Easy to purchase your tickets using headout and you don't have to wait in line at the castle. Saves a lot of time.

I enjoyed visiting the Expo and I entered several small pavilions. The only problem was the very long lines at many important pavilions, which made me skip them. This is a pity. Perhaps they should use some numbered ticket entrance line, or something similar.

Having tickets in hand is great, you know your in, and you don't need to line up for a ticket and then line up again to get it. Saves a lot of time and the added cost is minimal.

The castle was amazing, all the history coupled with the amazing view on the top floor made me appreciate the location's history. It's not an experience I'm likely to forget anytime soon!

Osaka castle itself was not really what I expected. It is essentially a modern building in an old looking coat. Check-in through the website was very good. Quick easy and soooo happy to avoid the queues.

It was so easy. We arrived at the castle without a ticket and jumped online to find a ticket while we were standing in the queue. We finished the order and received our tickets in under a minute, just in time to show our QR code to the attendant and walk straight in. Saving 30 minutes of lining up!

Osaka castle was great - my only piece of feedback is around crowd management. Specifically, I note that the inside of Osaka castle is very large (and beautiful) but I wonder if too many people were let inside in case of an emergency. If all people attempted to evacuate at the same time I wonder if the site could be evacuated properly.

I got my tickets online within 2 minutes, while standing in front of the Osaka castle, watching the hundreds of people who were lining up to buy their tickets at the ticket office. Payment using Apple Pay was done within seconds. In another minute, I could bypass the crowds and was able to enter the castle! Awesome!

The purchase of the tickets was great. It took us 5 minutes to book, and then the line for skip the line was very small. The experience of visiting the castle was not what we expected. Inside the castle is a simple museum. I think it is more interesting for somebody who wants to see some history of Osaka and has the patience to read and translate :)

The Umeda Ski Tower was an excellent experience. Highly recommended. (However getting the ticket through Headout made it difficult. I had to load up an app on my phone to get a pass voucher which couldn't even be printed correctly and therefore couldn't scanned properly for a real ticket. Basically I paid more to be inconvienced by using the Headout. Headout app is now off my phone and I won't make the mistake of dealing with Headout again.)

Although bought a ticket in advance I was confronted by long queues. Maybe if tickets are bought in advance they could be scheduled for a certain time to reduce waiting times Also the window viewing area had seats in most parts & it was difficult to get to see the views in some parts due to people sitting at the windows & obstructing the views. I accept people want to take in the views but what was frustrating was that most of the people who were sitting in these parts were not even looking at the views but were sat glued to their mobile phone looking at internet posts. I would suggest remove these seats to away from the windows so that people who have come to take in the views can do so without having to look over people hunched over their phones.

It was very busy and I didn't get into many of the exibits, however full marks for the way it was created. Lived the escalator taking you up to the walkway which gave you a great view of everytbing. I did go into the Monaco pavillion which was beautiful and relaxing. Would have happilly sat in there and relaxed if there had been seating. It was very thought provoking, what are we doing to our oceans and what are we do to preserve them.

Expo Osaka is a memorable event. My favorite pavilions are Portugal, France and Korea and be sure to be present for the water and air night show. Ofcorse there should be other fantastic pavilions but it's not possible to visit all of them in two days. For example the German one outside is great but I couldn't get in. There are also nice ideas, add the bamboo bench

The issue was that it was difficult to find the 10 digit code on the ticket and so I called up headout from my event which was in Japan. I waited for someone to answer while on hold and then it hung up on me. I called back and it did the same thing. Everybody else in line had a QR code to immediately get in but I didn't have anything so was very concerned. When I finally go to the front of the line, they took me into the office and validated that code, so I eventually did get in.

Douglas
May 2025Verified booking
I had not reserved any exibits in advance, and I suggest one does if there is any particulare ones you want to see. The waiting times for some where up to 2 hours standing in line. That's not for me. However, I spent my time seeing exhibits of smaller nations and watched the hordes of people. walk by. There are not a lot of places where one might see such a mixture of the human species on full exposure. It was a great experience and the Headout app worked well, excpect with one issue. I bought 2 days of one person tickets and neither one ever had a barcode to use. I had to go the a special office near tthe entance to the World Expo so they could manually print me my barcode on paper. Without it, you don't get in.
