Osaka Expo Admission Ticket

As the first part of the event will take place at the Osaka Expo, we are 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 at 9:00) 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.

 

Accessing the French Pavilion

We recommend entering the Expo site through the East Gate, which is just a 5-minute walk from the France Pavilion. Please note that the East Gate is only accessible via Yumeshima Station (Chuo Line).

If you are arriving by taxi or bus, you will need to enter through the West Gate, located on the opposite side of the site. From there, it takes approximately 20 minutes on foot to reach the France Pavilion.

Whichever entrance you use, your VIP ticket gives you access to the dedicated “Pavilion VIP Card” priority lanes.

 

Lockers are available at all main entrances for storing luggage and personal items.

 

 


SECOND PART: Gala Kansai 2025

The Kansai Gala celebrates French gastronomy, culture, and art de vivre.

Enjoy a gourmet dinner created by Nicolas BEAUMANN, a two-Michelin-starred chef who is coming specially from France to share his culinary artistry with you.

Be captivated by an exclusive performance from the renowned Takarazuka Revue, featuring a unique show by two of the company’s former stars: Yu HODAKA and Yukino KOJYO.

Try your luck in our grand raffle for a chance to win exceptional prizes, such as fine jewelry or luxurious hotel stays.

But the Kansai Gala is more than just dinner and entertainment, it is also a rare opportunity to connect with key figures from the Kansai region and the French community in Japan, including members of the CCIFJ Board.
