Pickup points and meeting tips
- Banpaku-Kinen-Koen Station on the Osaka Monorail sits between the park and EXPOCITY and is easy for groups to find.
- For Osaka University, name the specific Suita campus gate or building; the campus is extensive.
- Esaka Station has a business-hotel cluster suited to delegations and sports teams.
- On stadium match days, agree a pickup point away from the stadium perimeter to avoid crowd control zones.
Vehicle access
Coaches reach the Expo park and EXPOCITY easily via the Chugoku and Meishin expressways at Suita. The park and EXPOCITY have large car parks, but space for buses can be limited during events and holidays, so arrange it ahead.
Large event parking can require advance booking.
Luggage
Conference and university groups often check out on the final day; keep luggage on a coach with a hold rather than leaving it at the venue.
