It was great! Had so many inclusions ! We enjoyed the experiences more than anything! Got to go to a Giant ferris wheel, ride on the Osaka metro. Enjoyed the Osaka castle. There were probably few other things I'm sure we missed. Wish it had a little more specifics about what it included especially with the activities and Trains.. for example did you know it doesn't include the entirety of the nankai line? Especially out to izumisano. More details on what's included would be great so people who like to be prepared know what they're in for and can plan and accommodate.

COnvienent. Also shorter (no) ticket line at Osaka castle. WOuld have been great, but there is no Wifi and data reception at the turnstiles in Ebisuchō Station. I had to go to an exit and run back to the turnstile before 60 seconds was up.

Excellent value. Easy to use once you realise that you use the train / facilities ticket for the principle attractions, not just the train. Only problem is that the QT code is only valid for use for 1 minute after loading, which is easily reset, but we did come to one station where there was no mobile or WiFi coverage which is needed each time to generate the codes

We had a great day at the Castle. The skip the line tickets saved us over 30 minutes queuing in the brilliant sunshine. We walked straight up to the gate, showed our tickets, straight in and to the top of the tower. The view is beautiful. Definitely worth it to pre book

Nice having all in one but not sure I would buy again as rail is not expensive and there is no where near enough time in one day to do a fraction of the sights - we basically just did the castle so I expect for this ticket paid way, way more that we would have.

Excellent visit to universal Osaka. Only negative is you either need two days to see the park unless you buy express pass. The negative is the express passes are almost twice the price on average of park admission.

The whole venue was excellent we were there from 915am till close. However the crowds were to much and too many people jammed in attractions, need better crowd control and better access it was hot and no shade lining up for 40 -60+ mins is unacceptable.

Amazing experience! We arrived at 8:00 AM (the park opened at 8:30), which gave us a great head start. As soon as we got in, we headed straight to Super Nintendo World and enjoyed every bit of it. The longest wait was for Donkey Kong — but totally worth it! We stayed until 9:00 PM and managed to do all the thrill rides and scream-worthy attractions. Our top favorites: The Flying Dinosaur, Hollywood Dream, and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey — absolutely unforgettable! We visited Universal Studios as a family with two teenagers, and it was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Japan!

The Harry Potter World was fantastic and unbeatable better then anything else. So nice Souvenirs, but unfortunatly seriously a way to expensiv. Easy ticket entrance and nice and friendly staff. I was heaps dissapointed from the Super Mario World Rides tho. Not worth it at all to wait in a queue for that! The queues in generell were to long, we missed out on heaps of things because of that. But those details in the Mario world were awesome, good on you! the Jurassic World and Harry potter world were my favourites

Selection of rides at the park was very good. We particularly liked rides that were a little different like backdrop and koopa karts. We missed out on Minecraft madness because the ride broke down and there was no indication if we would be able to get on if we stayed. The nintendo world area was spectacular but too busy to really be enjoyable for us Otherwise

The rides and shows are great but you can't experience very many due to over admittance and even the areas you have to reserve time for are over crowded.
Sandra
May 2025Verified booking
The Nintendo area was spectacular and the roaming performers were excellent. I loved the characters coming out to meet the visitors and noticed how they took time to talk to individual children. The staff were exceptional and always polite and smiling. We enjoyed the Water World show however we struggled to find other performances because we couldn't figure out what happened where. We spent a lot of time looking at maps. The crowds were excessive. It took so long in lines and to walk around which meant we really did not cover most of the park. My phone ran out of power and the Charge Spot did not accept Australian PayPal cards. I know we are in Japan but some English translation would have been good on the shows. I would have bought an express pass but was unsure what it provided.

Easy to access, tickets were available in e-version on the app. Easy passage through the gate with QR code to enter the park. Park with magnificent scenery. Japanese staff are welcoming, smiling and caring. The attractions are immersive. Marioland is extra ordinary, even though it's crowded! Remember to reserve a time slot to access it with the USJ app. Meals are accessible. We had an excellent day.

It was very busy and I didn't get into many of the exibits, however full marks for the way it was created. Lived the escalator taking you up to the walkway which gave you a great view of everytbing. I did go into the Monaco pavillion which was beautiful and relaxing. Would have happilly sat in there and relaxed if there had been seating. It was very thought provoking, what are we doing to our oceans and what are we do to preserve them.

Expo Osaka is a memorable event. My favorite pavilions are Portugal, France and Korea and be sure to be present for the water and air night show. Ofcorse there should be other fantastic pavilions but it's not possible to visit all of them in two days. For example the German one outside is great but I couldn't get in. There are also nice ideas, add the bamboo bench

The issue was that it was difficult to find the 10 digit code on the ticket and so I called up headout from my event which was in Japan. I waited for someone to answer while on hold and then it hung up on me. I called back and it did the same thing. Everybody else in line had a QR code to immediately get in but I didn't have anything so was very concerned. When I finally go to the front of the line, they took me into the office and validated that code, so I eventually did get in.

Douglas

I had not reserved any exibits in advance, and I suggest one does if there is any particulare ones you want to see. The waiting times for some where up to 2 hours standing in line. That's not for me. However, I spent my time seeing exhibits of smaller nations and watched the hordes of people. walk by. There are not a lot of places where one might see such a mixture of the human species on full exposure. It was a great experience and the Headout app worked well, excpect with one issue. I bought 2 days of one person tickets and neither one ever had a barcode to use. I had to go the a special office near tthe entance to the World Expo so they could manually print me my barcode on paper. Without it, you don't get in.
