Where Should You Stay for Expo 2025?

You can stay anywhere in Osaka and get to the Yumeshima event site relatively quickly. You could even stay in Kyoto or Kobe, especially if you’re willing to take the shinkansen to Osaka. However, for maximum convenience, it would be best to base yourself in a hotel someone in the Osaka Bay area. Here are our favorites:

Hotels on Port Town Island

At the present time, there is one hotel on Port Town Island, which is just across the bridge from Yumeshima.

  • Hyatt Regency Osaka
    (View on Booking.com or Agoda.com)
    This hotel in the Port Town area of the bay is a very short trip from the Expo 2025. At present, it’s about the most convenient place to be based for the Expo.

Hotels Near Universal Studios Japan (USJ)

After the hotels on Port Town Island, the closest hotels to Expo 2025 are those near Universal Studios Japan, which is a short distance from Yumeshima. For those attending with kids, these hotels offer the chance to combine a great theme park with easy access to Expo 2025. Here are our favorites near USJ:

Other Hotels in Osaka

Because Osaka’s public transport is so good, you can easily base yourself in central Osaka and commute back and forth each day to Yumeshima for Expo 2025. Here are our hotel recommendations for central Osaka:
