Preparing for your visit to the event

1. Expo Osaka Admission Ticket

As the event will take place at the France Pavilion, access to the Expo site is required.
To this end, the CCI is pleased to provide you with a complimentary VIP admission ticket as part of your participation.
You do not need to purchase an Expo ticket separately.

Your ticket will be sent to you by email approximately one week prior to the event.
Please note that it is mandatory to print the ticket and present a physical (paper) copy upon arrival.
Digital versions (on smartphones, tablets, etc.) will not be accepted by Expo staff.

This ticket is valid for the entire day (Expo opening hours: 9:00 AM – 9:00 PM) and grants full access to the site.
You are welcome to explore the Expo freely before or after the event.
Please be advised that re-entry is not permitted once you leave the site.

2. Accessing the France Pavilion

We recommend entering the Expo via the East Gate, which is the most convenient access point to reach the France Pavilion (approximately a 5-minute walk).

Please note that the East Gate is only accessible via Yumeshima Station (Chuo Line). If you plan to arrive by taxi or bus, you will need to use the West Gate, located on the opposite side of the site.

Upon arrival, please proceed to the priority lane located on the far right, available exclusively for VIP ticket holders.

At the France Pavilion, a CCI staff member will welcome you and escort you to the area reserved for event participants.
Doors will open at 12:00 PM.
