Tokyo: Advance tickets for the 2025 World Exposition in the western Japan city of Osaka will go on sale Thursday, exactly 500 days before the opening of the event.

Prices of advance tickets for those aged 18 or older start at 4,000 yen and can be purchased online through a special website.

A 4,000-yen one-day ticket can be used in the first two weeks of the Expo, which begins April 13, 2025. A 5,000-yen ticket can be used through July 18 that year, while a 6,000-yen ticket can be used on any day of the 184-day event through October 13, 2025.

The advance tickets are cheaper than an adult one-day ticket to be sold during the event for 7,500 yen.

The Expo is set to take place on the manmade island of Yumeshima in Osaka.
