Chako: Hey Log, I heard that the popular pavilions at the Osaka Expo have wait times of up to four hours! That’s amazing, isn’t it?
Log: Yeah, it seems like the surge in visitors is making it impossible to avoid the crowds. Especially for the popular pavilions, it must be really tough since you can’t even make reservations.
Chako: I know! It’s such a shame that everyone is looking forward to it, but they have to wait so long.
Navi: I believe that improvements are necessary to enhance the visitor experience. A system to avoid congestion is particularly important.
Log: Plus, with visitor complaints on the rise, some kind of response will definitely be needed.

Admin’s Note

The current congestion situation at the Osaka-Kansai Expo is quite interesting. With the number of visitors skyrocketing, having wait times exceed four hours takes away from the enjoyment of the event. I believe it’s essential to reconsider early entry options and same-day reservation systems to alleviate the crowds. We need to implement measures that ensure visitors can enjoy the experience comfortably. It’s important for us to address these issues and think about how we can provide a better experience moving forward.
