How it's used

While it carries a sense of ceremony, it is frequently used metaphorically for the start of major events or exhibitions. It implies a sense of anticipation and official commencement.
Examples

This exhibition will officially open tomorrow.

Common mistake
Avoid using this for everyday openings like a new shop or restaurant, where 開張 or 開幕 is much more natural. Reserve this for formal events, monuments, or significant artistic exhibitions.
