How long should I spend at Osaka Expo 2025?

Crowd outside the Osaka Healthcare Pavilion, "Nest for Reborn," at Expo 2025 Osaka, Kansai, Japan.
  • Quick visit (2–3 hours): Enough to explore 4–5 headline pavilions or a thematic zone. Great if you want a taste of the Expo’s innovation, architecture, and cultural showcases without committing an entire day.
  • Half-day (5–6 hours): Ideal for covering 8–10 pavilions plus a signature show or parade. Time for breaks, dining in one of the global food courts, and soaking in key exhibitions.
  • Full day (8+ hours): Best for a complete experience. Tour multiple country pavilions, catch cultural performances, enjoy night illuminations, and dine leisurely. Expect to walk extensively across the 155-hectare grounds.
