Overview

• The Japan International Exposition Association reported 22,205,483 cumulative general visitors through Sept. 28, exceeding Aichi 2005’s total of about 22.05 million.
• Daily turnout topped 200,000 for 17 consecutive days from Sept. 12 to 28, marking a sustained late‑season surge.
• Ticket sales reached 21,864,822 as of Sept. 19, already above the roughly 18 million threshold for operating‑cost break‑even.
• With reservation slots nearly full and ticket sales ending at month‑end, reaching the stated goal of 23 million tickets remains uncertain.
• Local media report the total could exceed 25 million by the Oct. 13 closing if the current pace continues.
