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

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.

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.

Beautiful park, but far too many people for so few attractions, which is a shame. Time reservation for Nintendo World, but it's a shame it's even more crowded there (2-hour queue on average per attraction). Otherwise, the attractions were great

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

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.

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.

Queues were frustrating. Head out website didn't forward the QR code tickets. Or they said they had but they didn't download. Buying tickets was easy, but then trying to get onto expo website to load them there took over 2 hours. Not sure if this was of heavy usage or what. Basically of all the ticketing sites I have used this would be the most cumbersome. Expo fine . We booked late so I acknowledge we couldn't make reservations but access to a lot of things was impossible. I will recommend to others to book early or not bother. We were in Japan so attended on a whim. I wouldn't do again unless I planned ahead so we could get into More of the pavilions. There seems to me something morally wrong to charge people to enter and then you have to queue for access to something you want to see for a further 2 hours. Suggests to me you are letting too many people in at once Getting through gates into expo however was quite efficient.

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.

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.

All the attractions, the kindness of the people and all the things we could see. Everything was amazing! Certainly there are many lines, especially in the main attractions, you have to buy the express pass. I also appreciate the honesty of the Japanese culture, I lost my cell phone and the next day I returned to the park and they gave it back to me. I was impressed because I thought they would not find it.

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

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.

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

Would be nice if you also included the timed entry tickets or even just clear instructions. You cannot get them on the day.. you must book them in advance on the USJ app. That should've been more clear. We missed out on that part of the park and were very disappointed.

Things to know before booking your Universal Studios Japan tickets

When booking your tickets to Universal Studios Japan, remember that the Studio Pass and Express Pass are separate purchases. The Studio Pass gives you admission to the park and its rides, while the Express Pass is an additional cost to help you skip the lines at popular rides. 

1. Ticket types: Which one fits your schedule?

The 1-Day Studio Pass is great for a short visit, giving you access to all the park’s attractions for a single day. If you have more time, the 1.5-Day or 2-Day Studio Pass allows you to explore at a more relaxed pace. Choose based on your travel schedule and how much time you can dedicate.

2. Need more from a single visit? Consider the Express Pass

If you’re aiming to pack as much as possible into a single day, the Express Pass is your best friend. The 1-Day Studio Pass starts at ¥8,801, but for an extra ¥11,800 (starting price), the Express Pass slashes wait times by up to 70%. 

This means more time enjoying top attractions like Super Nintendo World™, The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™, or other rides of your choice, especially during busy periods.

3. Express Pass: Which one should you pick?

The Express Pass 4 gives you quicker access to four major attractions, while the Express Pass 7 covers seven rides, ensuring you don’t miss out on any top experiences. If your goal is to hit all the top rides in one visit, the Express Pass 7 is worth the extra investment.

4. Combo Pass vs Combo Ticket

  • The Combo Pass combines your Universal Studios Japan Studio Pass with an Express Pass—saving you the hassle of purchasing them separately. This is a time-saver and a great way to maximize your experience.
  • On the other hand, the Combo Ticket includes admission to Universal Studios Japan plus access to select other attractions in Osaka. This is a good option if you're looking to explore more of the city alongside your USJ visit.

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.
