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

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 first one we went on was pretty amazing. I can't remember exactly the name of it. But I think it was called:Dreamland or something like that. It was the 1st actual roller coaster ride that scared me but was also fun. In Canada,we have a smaller one,wooden one but it's not as fun as this one.

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.

I should have planned my visit better, because I found myself queuing for rides I ended up finding quite boring instead of ones I would have really loved. The Harry Potter one is INSANE!!!! So worth it, honestly. Nintendo world it overhyped, you don't need to go there if you'd rather save the extra money. My entry time to Nintendo World was SO LATE- at 17:20- so I barely had any time in there, because although it says online that the park shuts at 21:00, it shut at 19:00 when I went. Which means all the rides shut at 18:00. Quite sad.

I was totally disappointed because the way who can enter the Nintendo world was chosen by lottery, for which we could applied only once. This the own park that I have wver visit with "lottery " area. Additionally I was not able to use one of the attraction because of body restrictions. On the top on one of the attraction it was done absolutly unapproved joke with my husband that he is to fat.

Flying dinosaur was the best we have tried. Queues coild be a little long however if you do not have a fast track ticket. About an hour and half for Harry Potter 😵💫

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!

We weren't able to choose the time of the queue-cutting tickets, which were scheduled for the end of the day between 6pm and 8.30pm and had to be queued one after the other, which wasn't great for discovering and enjoying the universe we were in. It wasn't possible to change the times, so we queued like everyone else. When we read the descriptions of the offers, we understood that entry to Super Nintendo World had to be paid for separately, and that's why we'd taken the express pass, when in reality it wasn't necessary. What's more, there's no point in having a ticket for the minions attraction, there's hardly any waiting time and Jaws was out of order. The pass was of no use to us, it was a totally unnecessary expense, a simple ticket is more than enough. On the other hand, Universal Studios is really worth it, we had a blast, just with the universes and sets and with the few attractions we did, and the simple entry ticket worked without a hitch.

Everyone was extremely friendly and helpful, all the attractions where just top notch! From Amity area to Nintendo World and the Harry Potter area, it's definitely worth every penny to enjoy an incredible day. The express queue was super easy to use and we were able to follow the itinerary provided without any issues. 10/10 would do it again.

It was a very nice experience, but if the details about the location of the game were better, as we didn't know the name of the donky king game from the list, and as first-time visitors to the park, we didn't know the names of the games.

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 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

Most venues requires reservation and the site is not user friendly and it's hard to reserve a venue. It was the worst expo I attended.
Douglas
May 2025Verified booking
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.

Entering the Headout data into the software of the EXPO did not work out. At the end we had to go to the EXPO in order to clarify this issue. The staff there was also surprised, but at the end helpful and flexible.

Ticketing seemed overcomplicated. We had to ask our hotel concierge for help, and it took him 30 minutes to figure it out. Then we realized we were supposed to make reservtions for the idividual pavillions, but were to late to do so.

The performances, the architecture, the vibes were cool. Additional things I didn't like - I also didn't like how confusing everything was - it was very hectic and unorganized in a lot of places and it was hard to get good photos due to people walking in the way. I didn't know you needed reservations for some of the exhibits - or when I went to a certain exhibit they were only accepting reservations at that time so I didn't get to enter. I thought the price was too expensive for what I got.

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 process for obtaining a ticket and a specific entry time is too complicated, and the process for getting into a Pavilion was impossibly difficult. So frustrating. Enormously long queues and impossible to get into a pavillion using the App.

The first one we went on was pretty amazing. I can't remember exactly the name of it. But I think it was called:Dreamland or something like that. It was the 1st actual roller coaster ride that scared me but was also fun. In Canada,we have a smaller one,wooden one but it's not as fun as this one.

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.

Great diversity in pavillions, good organization, beautiful lightshow at the end of the day, but the higlight is the design: the wooden ring around the Expo, with beautiful greens and flowers and soothing music!

I should have planned my visit better, because I found myself queuing for rides I ended up finding quite boring instead of ones I would have really loved. The Harry Potter one is INSANE!!!! So worth it, honestly. Nintendo world it overhyped, you don't need to go there if you'd rather save the extra money. My entry time to Nintendo World was SO LATE- at 17:20- so I barely had any time in there, because although it says online that the park shuts at 21:00, it shut at 19:00 when I went. Which means all the rides shut at 18:00. Quite sad.

I was totally disappointed because the way who can enter the Nintendo world was chosen by lottery, for which we could applied only once. This the own park that I have wver visit with "lottery " area. Additionally I was not able to use one of the attraction because of body restrictions. On the top on one of the attraction it was done absolutly unapproved joke with my husband that he is to fat.

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!

We weren't able to choose the time of the queue-cutting tickets, which were scheduled for the end of the day between 6pm and 8.30pm and had to be queued one after the other, which wasn't great for discovering and enjoying the universe we were in. It wasn't possible to change the times, so we queued like everyone else. When we read the descriptions of the offers, we understood that entry to Super Nintendo World had to be paid for separately, and that's why we'd taken the express pass, when in reality it wasn't necessary. What's more, there's no point in having a ticket for the minions attraction, there's hardly any waiting time and Jaws was out of order. The pass was of no use to us, it was a totally unnecessary expense, a simple ticket is more than enough. On the other hand, Universal Studios is really worth it, we had a blast, just with the universes and sets and with the few attractions we did, and the simple entry ticket worked without a hitch.

Osaka castle was great - my only piece of feedback is around crowd management. Specifically, I note that the inside of Osaka castle is very large (and beautiful) but I wonder if too many people were let inside in case of an emergency. If all people attempted to evacuate at the same time I wonder if the site could be evacuated properly.

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

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.

The first one we went on was pretty amazing. I can't remember exactly the name of it. But I think it was called:Dreamland or something like that. It was the 1st actual roller coaster ride that scared me but was also fun. In Canada,we have a smaller one,wooden one but it's not as fun as this one.

I should have planned my visit better, because I found myself queuing for rides I ended up finding quite boring instead of ones I would have really loved. The Harry Potter one is INSANE!!!! So worth it, honestly. Nintendo world it overhyped, you don't need to go there if you'd rather save the extra money. My entry time to Nintendo World was SO LATE- at 17:20- so I barely had any time in there, because although it says online that the park shuts at 21:00, it shut at 19:00 when I went. Which means all the rides shut at 18:00. Quite sad.

I was totally disappointed because the way who can enter the Nintendo world was chosen by lottery, for which we could applied only once. This the own park that I have wver visit with "lottery " area. Additionally I was not able to use one of the attraction because of body restrictions. On the top on one of the attraction it was done absolutly unapproved joke with my husband that he is to fat.

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!

We loved everything — the staff and the attractions. Everything was perfect. We're sorry about the final show that was canceled due to the water.

I was totally disappointed because the way who can enter the Nintendo world was chosen by lottery, for which we could applied only once. This the own park that I have wver visit with "lottery " area. Additionally I was not able to use one of the attraction because of body restrictions. On the top on one of the attraction it was done absolutly unapproved joke with my husband that he is to fat.

We were very impressed by the Team Lab exhibition in the Osaka Botanical Gardens. The fusion of nature and light paired with wonderfully atmospheric sounds was a unique experience. We took a lot of time to enjoy it and would like to visit a Team Lab exhibition again, even indoors, as we have become very curious.

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

Amazing attractions despite being completely crowded. Go with express pass if you can to save you time in the lines. Get the ticket as soon as possible because attractions in Japan may be sold out before you even try to buy. Universal Studios totally worth it!

The night of 12/31 was the best, the lines for the attractions and food outlets were shorter than usual! The fireworks and music were great! However, for January 1st the lines for the attractions and food outlets were endless, so I decided to only participate in the No Limit Parade, which was very fun and cheerful.
