Tips and hacks to enjoy EXPO 2025 Osaka (even with no prior pavilion reservations)✨ 1.Download the official EXPO 2025 app before you enter. You’ll need it to reserve pavilion slots on the day📱 2.Use the West Gate if you can. It’s much less crowded since it’s for shuttle buses only🚪 3.Book the earliest entry slot, ideally 9:00 AM. The morning is quieter and lines are shorter ⏰ 4.Start with two pavilions that are both interesting to you and close to each other 🗺️ 5.While waiting at your first pavilion, open the app and reserve your next one. Slots usually open around 10 minutes after you enter👩‍💻 6.Public restrooms fill up fast. If your pavilion has one inside, take advantage of it 🚽 7.Bring your own snacks. Food lines can be just as long as pavilion lines 🍙 Save this post and share it with someone heading to the Expo! #expo2025 #osakaexpo #japantravel #japantrip #osaka #osakatravel #osakatrip
