Where is the Osaka Expo being held?
“EXPO 2025 Osaka, Kansai Expo (2025 Japan World Expo)” will be held on the artificial island of Yumeshima in Osaka Bay.
Many people might wonder, “Where is Yumeshima?” It is located in Konohana Ward, Osaka City, which is the same area where Universal Studios Japan (USJ) is situated.
Since it offers good access to major stations in central Osaka, such as Osaka Station, Osaka Umeda Station, Osaka Namba Station, and Tennoji Station, it is a convenient location for visitors coming from outside Osaka Prefecture.

From the nearest station to Universal Studios Japan, JR Sakurajima Station, it takes about 15 minutes by shuttle bus to reach the Osaka Expo venue. While it might be a tight schedule, it is possible to visit both the Expo and USJ in a single day due to their proximity.
However, given the expected crowds during the Expo period and the fact that both the Osaka Expo and Universal Studios Japan are packed with attractions, staying at a hotel near the venue and allocating one day for the Expo and another for USJ would allow you to enjoy your visit more leisurely.
