How to go to Japan Expo

Japan Expo takes place at the Parc d’Expositions in Paris-Nord Villepinte.
The Festival has an exceptional transportation service with an RER station next to it, 25 minutes away from the center of Paris and 10 minutes away from Charles de Gaulle (airport and train station), as well as a taxi station.

How to get in

At the Esplanade, ticket holders and people without tickets are split into 3 distinct lines.
Every day, one hour before the official opening time, ticket holders are directed to the entrance (Premium Ticket holders are not concerned). We do not separate people who purchased their ticket from pre-sale offices (France Billet or Ticketnet) from those who simply bought their ticket at the festival one or two days before.

Please, make sure you keep your ticket at hand to save time.

People without tickets are sent to the exhibition hall to purchase their tickets at the registers at 11:00am.

PLEASE mind the opening hour! Do not come at 8:00am and risk a 2-hour waiting time.

Registers and means of payment

Before you reach the registers and in order to save time, please make sure you have the exact change.

BE CAREFUL, banknotes above €50 are not accepted.
For any check, an ID will be always required. To save time, please hand it immediately.

Payments with credit cards are accepted only at specified registers.

3 ATMs will be available among which 2 will be outside the festival, in the Parc d’Expositions: one at the entrance of Hall 4, one next to Hall 6 and one within the festival next to the Hall 5 entrance. LEAVING ONCE MEANS LEAVING DEFINITELY so make sure you have enough cash before entering the festival!!

More generally, please bring enough cash or checks because very few exhibitors accept credit cards and ATMs at the Parc are very likely to be crowded so anticipating the cash need means no need to worry about it during the festival.
