    I definitely recommend purchasing your tickets in advance. We came Friday/Saturday with 2 day passes. The lines to come in are long, the lines for the rides are long, the lines for food (snacks) are long. If you can definitely get the express passes they are worth the $$$. Nintendo World is cool but VERY VERY busy. Once the area is full you'll have to get a timed area ticket via their ticket section in the park or via APP. (APP is easiest.) The restaurants inside are pricey. The Mario Cafe food was cute but the food was barely warm. Everywhere in the park the staff is helpful, and very kind. The bathrooms are all over the place (if you have kids download the app to show you where they are), very clean, and big. They could really use more benches and seating areas around the park. It is a lot of walking/standing so wear comfortable shoes.

    Simply a blast to be here! Came on a Monday expecting thinner crowd but it was still full. Buy tickets in advance and don’t make the mistake we made and buy it when we arrived. Waiting in line is a common theme here but you can minimize it if you plan accordingly. Once you are inside the park, it makes sense why it’s so popular. Great presentation of different fun characters that you’ve come to love. For food, there is so many options to choose from. For rides, you need at least couple days to appreciate all of it. Everything is pricey even the food. Either way, that is all parks like this. Highly recommended and a must visit.

    We got to the park at 7 for the 8am opening, and there was already a MASSIVE throng of people waiting to get in. We spent much of the day waiting in lines. There were extremely long lines for rides, foods, drinks, the bathroom, and even to get into stores! We rode 4 rides all day, and having paid what we did to get in- this was a huge disappointment. We were able to access all areas of the park- including Mario World- which was amazing. The park was very clean. The workers were extremely nice and helpful. The APP was not very user friendly and we had to ask for help from workers on site often. You definitely need more than 1 day here if you want to experience every ride without having to pay the outrageous express pass prices. We spent a lot of time just walking around the Harry Potter and Mario World areas, as there was a lot to look at. I will say every bit of food we ate was on point and delicious!

    We got to the park at 830 for the 9am opening, and it was super quick to get though the gates. Went during a rainy day it stopped after about 3-4 hours. Lines for rides were extremely fast compared to reviews I read online. We were able to access all areas of the park- including Mario World- which was amazing. The park was very clean. The workers were extremely nice and helpful. The app was not very user friendly and probably needs more work done on it. I ended up experiencing almost every ride without having to pay the express pass prices. The foods were delicious and adorable.

    Universal Studios is a great experience for anyone and everyone! It gets very busy from the start already, so if you want quick access to rides & attractions it may be worth it to spend the extra money on the express pass (buy this well in advance as it was sold out at the gate when we got there in the morning). I went with my brother so we just went in the single lane most of the time which made the waiting time a lot shorter. Harry Potter world was made so well & the ride in Hogwarts was well worth the 50 minute wait too. There is a great water show which I highly recommend!! I also recommend bringing a lot of water with you as the vending machines overcharge almost double for drinks.

    Incredibly adventurous!!!! It's just magnificent to visit such a beautiful and amazing place. You can experience your favorite movie themes like Spider-Man, Despicable me, Harry Potter, Jurassic world and 90’s vibes of America etc. You can enjoy shopping and buy different souvenirs. As because the park is so huge, you must plan on spending a full day there. We couldn’t be able to complete all of the rides and theme attractions. If you are planning for riding all of the rides and covering all of the area , a two-days or three day’s ticket is recommended. Due to covid-19, the number of people allowed to enter being restricted, but still crowded. I will recommend you to go there by train, because the parking fee is expensive.

    A very nice theme park. I understand that it is currently the only one in the world that has Nintendo world, but I admit that this world was less recommended by me... But Its looks amazing! (only one attraction that works and if you don't buy a special watch, you really have nothing to do there...). I don't know if it's especially for Halloween, there is a whole complex of horror and as soon as the sun goes down, the park is filled with zombies. Really cool!! I liked the dinosaur flight train the most. In my opinion, there are quite a few attractions that don't work and it really sucks. If you arrive in the middle of the week, don't require the fast pass and use the single rider lane as much as possible (don't listen to the staff trying to show that the queues with waiting times are the same!)

    So much fun! My best advise is to go super early (7am) and head to the attraction you most desperately want to ride. I have been to several different theme parks but I can say without a doubt that this is the most busy one you will ever see. It is beyond a joke how long you will have to queue for rides. My experience: Harry Potter restaurant- 1 hour plus- just to order Harry Potter ride- 2 hours Flying dinosaur- 1 hour plus Mario kart- 2 hours There aren’t much more because unfortunately we didn’t get to go on many rides due to the crazy wait times but the rides we did go on were fantastic. To enter Nintendo world you need a time slot which is available for free on the website. These run out fast!! We got out time slot at 7am and the only one left were for 5pm. However, Nintendo world is fantastic. Such a fun time for adults and kids.

    Hands down the most amazing experience of my LIFE. This is a must go to place if you ever find yourself in Osaka. Try not to go on the days where it’s too busy or during the weekend. Buy your tickets in advance so that entry is seamless and quick. Harry Potter World was INSANE. It felt like I was reliving my childhood dreams!! There is a large selection of your favorite Universal Studios movies to visit. Wide selection of food but limited roller coaster rides. It’s a magical experience for adults and kids that I highly recommend if you ever get the opportunity to go. The people here are also very friendly and the overall mood was incredibly fun and wholesome. The staff who work here are a special breed of people. I have never seen such happy people. There are a lot of staff readily available to help with the most enthusiastic attitude. Would go back over and over again

    (Translated by Google) The best ... (^-^) /. I visited GW in 2019 from Kanto for 2 nights and 3 days. It takes about 7 hours to travel ... 🚐💨, so it's not enough for a day and a half to taste ... (/ ´ △ `\). I was thinking of going again this year, but I will postpone it because of Corona. Therefore, I'd like to save money until the ban is lifted, save time off, and play for about a week next time ... (^-^). In that case, I would like to stay at the adjacent hotel again ... (^-^). It's good that you can enter about an hour and a half earlier ... 👍. On the first day of this trip, I took a walk around Dotonbori in Osaka city. Besides (excuse me ... m (__) m) I learned that Kansai people are very kind. I take a step back because of my strong language, but I found that I often say with kindness when talking about various things. I will definitely bother you again this time. I have to find out the recommended spots and gourmet foods ... 👍. In that case, thank you ... m (__) m.

    The park was amazing. Mario land is off the chain. You could enjoy the park in 1 day but if you want to relax and not rush to squeeze in every ride then 2 days is great. I recommend downloaded the Universal studios app to check ride wait times and show times every day. You can also upgrade to express pass via app. I would recommend doing single rider Instead of the express pass because you pay a large cost per ride for the express pass it's not a all day express pass.

    (Translated by Google) It's easy to see that there is a successful experience of growing out of the predicament by making various reforms, but I get the impression that it's overkill in the short term from a short-term perspective. First of all, the anime and manga that are popular in the streets are being introduced too much as themes, and they are confused with the original themes, spoiling the world view, and the stuffing of each is sweet. Also, we built only attractions of the same type as popular attractions (most of them are those who are familiar with the rides of Spider-Man and the old Back to the Future, and the vehicle moves while watching the video. It is said that it can be done in earnest despite the low construction cost. Is it because of the merit? What surprised me was that there is a roller coaster in the Jurassic Park area that is almost the same as the Hollywood Dream), and I am in the same pattern no matter which one I ride. The disadvantages of spoiling the world view and becoming only one-pattern vehicles are that the cooperation between different stories becomes worse and the appeal of wanting to stay longer in the park diminishes, so goods, restaurants, cafes and other high-margin goods sell well. It gets worse (it's a matter of course in this type of business that you can't earn money just by paying for the ticket. Many locals buy a year pass, come around noon and return immediately after riding their favorite ride. It seems that he has won, but in this way of use, it is like an Instagrammer with many ghost followers. There is little engagement. In fact, the profit is overwhelmingly lost. In other words, the money to spend on new development is naturally small. .). It is difficult because a long-term perspective is required to emphasize the world view and eliminate one pattern, but entertainment that does not consider the long-term perspective cannot be a real fan and will soon perish. I think. Please do your best. * It is an individual opinion (Original) 色んな改革をすることで窮地を脱し成長した成功体験があるのはよくわかるが、そこに味をしめてあれもこれも短期的視野でやりすぎてごちゃってる印象。まず、とにかく巷で流行っているアニメやら漫画やらをどんどんテーマとして導入しすぎて元々あるテーマとごっちゃになり、世界観を損なっているし、それぞれの作り込みの詰めが甘い。また、人気アトラクションと同種のアトラクションばかり建設して(最近多いのは、スパイダーマンや旧バックトゥザ・フューチャーのライドでもおなじみの、映像を見ながら乗り物が動くやつ。建設コストが低いわりに本格的にできるというメリットからか?あとびっくりしたのはジュラシックパークエリアにハリウッドドリームとほぼ同じようなジェットコースターができている。)、どれに乗っても同じ、ワンパターンに陥っている。世界観を損なったりワンパターンの乗り物ばかりになるデメリットは、違う物語同士の連携が悪くなったり、パークに長居したくなる魅力が薄れるため、グッズやレストラン、カフェその他利益率の高いモノの売れが悪くなる(チケ代だけでは稼げないことはこれ系統のビジネスでは当たり前の話。年パス買って昼くらいに来てお気に入りのライド乗ってすぐ帰る地元民も多い。千葉にある某ライバルに入園数では勝ったことがあるそうだが、こんな利用のされ方ではまるでゴーストフォロワーが多いだけのインスタグラマー。エンゲージメントが少ない。現に利益は圧倒的に負けています。つまり新しい開発へ回すお金も当然少ないという事です。)。 世界観を重視したり、ワンパターン化をなくしたりするためには、長期的視野が必要であるため、大変ではあるが、長期的視野を考慮しないエンターテイメントは本物のファンができず、すぐに滅びると思う。頑張ってください。 ※個人の意見です

    It’s always a 5 stars experience going to a Universal Studios theme park! Osaka version is probably one of the best in the world, with the new addition of Nintendo World it really gives you so many options throughout the whole park! We had a great time visiting both the Harry Potter castle and Nintendo World, and I strongly recommend the food at Harry Potter cafe as it is really yummy and it makes you feel like you are transported into the books. If budget permits, do get the express passes it will free up more of your time to enjoy the other section of the parks since there tends to be longer queue at top attractions. They also do have tax refund near the entrance so you do get some of your money back if you are buying any of the merchandise. Overall an amazing experience, and I think if time is on your end. Make this a 2 day visit to really enjoy the whole park.

    Really loved this place but wasn’t able to figure out how to get a ticket to the Super Nintendo world. You need a separate timed entry ticket on top of your general park ticket to access it. The lines for most of the rides weren’t too bad (most between 35-45 minutes) which is maybe because I went on a weekday, but the lines for every food place (even the little food stalls) were all eternally long! The lines for food were longer than the rides. The staff were all friendly and accommodating and lots of cool souvenirs. They have a few other unique things that aren’t in the Orlando park like a Hello Kitty area and the Jaws ride. A lot of restaurants and shops just outside the park as well. The park is easy to get to if you take the subway as there is a station right outside the park entrance.

    Absolutely in love with this place and employees!! Everyone is so courteous, have great energy and treat us very kindly and attentively. I'm a huge fan of theme parks, I've worked at Walt Disney World (Orlando) for quite some time and used to be a parks tour guide in Florida so I know a bit about Disney, Universal Studios, Sea World, and so on. I confess I've always preferred the Disney parks, but USJ really got me as it exceeded all my expectations. So much so that I decided to upgrade my ticket to an annual pass (even though I love over four hours away through the expressway). Anyway, obviously I intend to go back many times!!

    What a way to spend your day. This place is magical and very busy. Make sure you book in advance have tickets printed out, and your entry will be super smooth. The area before you enter Universal studios has a variety of food stores and hotels. If you are not rushing to get in the park, I would recommend eating there first as the restaurants in the park are always packed and not a great variety of food. As it is normal park food. When you leave the park in the evening, many people will stop over to grab their evening meal so that time becomes busier again. Expect to wait in long ques, especially up to 1 hour and more. The popular rides up to 2 hours. Bring something along to entertain yourself while waiting in the ques. On hot days, there is no coverage in some places, so it does get very hot. Overall, it was a pleasant experience.

    So, I hit up Universal Studios Japan on a scorching 40+ degree day, and boy, was it an adventure! Now, don't get me wrong, the place is jam-packed with awesome stuff, but there's a catch - crowds. 🥵 If you're not a fan of waiting in lines that stretch to infinity (1.5 to 2-hour waits for rides AND food) you might want to think twice. Seriously, it's like every minion in Minion Park decided to show up at the same time! The rides we did get on were a blast, but we only managed two because of the lines. If this place was half as busy, it'd be pure magic. But, 40-degree heat plus massive crowds? Not exactly my idea of a breezy day out. So, in a nutshell, if you're up for some patience-testing fun and can handle the heat, Universal Studios Japan's got some epic rides and shows. But if you're more of an "instant gratification" type, you might wanna plan your visit wisely, possibly over a multi-day visit 🎢

    If your idea of fun is to stand in lines for hours at a time for a short ride, then you’ll love this place. I couldn’t believe how many people were here on a non-holiday weekday. Walked around for a few hours, did 1 ride (which even for the single rider line took 1.5 hours!) and then left to go have fun in the rest of Osaka. Let me be clear: if you have the money for a VIP ticket and they aren’t sold out, that is the only way to experience this place. Otherwise it sucks major.

    Went here on 1st November and it was really really crowded. No one did social distancing, no one followed the lines on the ground (the lines aren’t even that far apart either) and the staff also did not bother to monitor and ensure people are following COVID-19 measures. The prices of snacks and gifts are definitely a little more expensive here as compared to Disneyland’s. The variety of rides here are also less compared to Disneyland. There are quite a few rides that are similar 4D/3D type of ride like Harry Potter, Spider-man and Despicable Me. I also feel you will not be able to complete the park if you do not pay for the express tickets or 2 day passes, which can be very very pricey (almost double the price of the regular ticket). The overall time on each ride is also pathetic, all between 50seconds to maybe a bit over a minute. Which is frustrating as you’d have waited 120 minutes just for that super short ride. Positively, I would say that the Harry Potter world was very well done and I really enjoyed that part of the park. Just a pity that all the characters are speaking in Japanese which is really strange as they did not even bother to match up the ages with the dubbed voices. Dumbledore had a much younger voice than he should. Some rides could be left in english, like Pirates of the Caribbean in Disneyland to maintain originality. The best rides I’d say are: 1. Both the rides in Harry Potter world 2. Space fantasy (which was changed to a Doraemon themed ride) 3. Jurassic ride

    (Translated by Google) A place where the protagonist, Seishiro Watanuki, meets a mysterious old man in Kaho Nashiki's novel Tofu Kasuga. The day I worshiped was just during the annual festival. In the “Futonatsu Natsuso” festival, there was a description that a dragon god who lives at the foot of Kara Bridge in Seta came and went back up the Aichi River, so the reverse winding river became cloudy white, but unfortunately the cloudiness of the river can not be confirmed. was. (Original) 梨木香歩さんの小説「冬虫夏草」にて、主人公の綿貫征四郎が不思議な老人に出会う場所。 参拝した日はちょうど例大祭のさなかでした。「冬虫夏草」では例祭には瀬田の唐橋のたもとに住まいする龍神がやって来て、愛知川を遡ってくるので逆巻く川が白く濁る、との記述があったけど、残念ながら川の濁りは確認できませんでした。

    Recommend the year pass if loving close to the Osaka area (going twice a year already makes it up) They should do something about the heat, and like having mist dispensers in sunny areas or something of the like. Even though being close to the water adds a nice breeze, right now it’s too hot. If you go with a toddler, they won’t be able to ride anything unless they are at least 92 cm tall.

    I went to universal studios japan on 18 Aug 2022 which I don't recommend because it was unbearably hot. I lived in Japan for a few years in the early 2000s so I knew August was very hot but I've since forgotten how hot it gets. Anyway, the park was amazing although it was very crowded. I suggest you get the pass to get on the rides instead of waiting in line especially in the summer months. I didn't ride many rides because my son is 4 but he had quite a few rides for his age so I was pleased. The food was expensive like any other park and not great. But that's not why we were there. The spiderman ride, my son loved it as well as the griffin ride at Harry Potter area. I loved the Super Nintendo area but MAKE SURE YOU SECURE YOUR TIME AS SOON AS YOU GET TO THE PARK. GET THERE EARLY AND SCAN THE QR CODE AND USE YOUR TICKET TO SECURE A TIME TO GO TO THAT AREA!!!! YOUVE BEEN WARNED ⚠️ . All in all the family had a swell time. Just go in spring or fall if you can help it. Also, go on a weekday.

    Read a lot of reviews about this place and its one of the best Universal Studios around the world. The place is very well designed and they have kept all the eye for details everywhere, so they can re create the experience of your favourite character or show. However, when it comes to roller coaster and rides, it can disappoint. They only have 3 main stream roller coaster out of which 1 was shut for maintenance when I visited. They have 1 more basic ride at the Harry potter zone, other then that its only shows and shopping. I personally feel that 8,600 yen is too much for entry fees for an adult looking for adventure. Its best suited for kids. Also, i really do not know why they sell 1.5 or 2 days passes. I reached the location at 8:30, waited for 15 exact minutes to buy my ticket and saw all attractions and exited the park by 4:30. This includes 1 hr of Lunch time. I really recommend that you buy the twilight pass for 6000 yen where you will have no line to buy the tickets and you can definitely finish all attractions by 7:30pm. This should only he avoided during Special Holidays and Summer vacation for kids where crowd in the park can be overwhelming.

    Well, it is truly a magical place! Despite blistering hot temperatures, the place was packed, and plenty of fun to be had! As a thrill seeker, the Jurassic Park roller coaster would have to be my all time favourite roller coaster! My favourite memory though is Guest Services. I lost my prescription sunglasses on one of the rides. A half hour later at the other end of the park, guest services produced them for me! So grateful, so overwhelming! Thanks for a memorable day!

    If you are looking for thrills, looks elsewhere. And whatever you do... Just don't go on a weekend or holiday. The wait for the only good rides is 1-2hrs. When I went on a weekday it was much more enjoyable, but now that I've experienced the hell it is on a holiday, I can't rate it any higher. The place is great for children and anyone who doesn't care for a good roller coaster. If you are an adult looking to get on some exciting rides, I recommend FujiQ Highland. For families with small children, this or Disney will do the trick.

    Better than Tokyo Disney parks. The Flying Dinosaur is a lot of fun, there's a unexpected little drop in turn that was cool. The Harry Potter world and super Nintendo world are pretty awesome lot of neat things in there. One good thing of Corona is that it wasn't crowded so the wait for the rides was only about 15 to 20 minutes.

    I has here a while ago, just forgot to post about it. It am sure is tons more fun with Harry Potter and Mario in the mix since I went. But the park itself is a mirror of the one in Florida. The service is top notch and the organization is very well done. It is amazingly clean and well maintained. I expect it to keep growing overtime. The thrill rides are as fun as they can be and it is a great experience to hit a theme park in another country, definitely something to do and something you don't want to miss! So on off-peak days and make sure you have enough loot for the trip, there is a lot to see and buy if you want to enjoy it to the fullest.

    I went here for the second time i find myself very interesting and become a unforgettable experience ever in my life. There’s so mahy attractions you can enjoy but it’s not enough even one day. You should get 3 days i think if you want to enjoy all of the attractions thoroughly. Don’t worry about the food they almost have it every single corner but you have you keep in mind that the line of people wants to buy would be so long. Every staff so friendly and helpful if you get lost or just ask anything. Personally the best attraction for me is Harry Potter inside the castle. That’s the best experience if you want to feel hogwarts and magic world. And don’t forget to buy some souvenirs and drink butter beer there, it is non alcohol so kids can drink freely and enjoy the moment together with family

    A place of fun, enjoyable and memorable moments for the family. Filled with lots of fun rides, yummy treats and a whole lot of characters that you would like to enjoy! Such loving times in Japan :) You can get tickets ahead of time to lessen the lines. The staff are all so corteous and filled with great service. There is also a Harry Potter site filled with so much color and fun.

    Easy to get there by train. Great experience when visit Osaka. Have fun with family. Recommend to buy ticket before arrival. To avoid long waiting time, express or VIP ticket is a good option. Waited for 90 mins to ride Harry Potter and Forbidden journey, but it’s worth. Must try Harry Potter’s butter beer.

    Excellent amusement park, love the variety of rides and Nintendo world was the best section of an amusement park I have ever been to. The food is a bit average but remember to eat instead of running around all day. Ensure you go to Nintendo world first and the download the app of you want to renter. Highly recommend as a day out!

    Amazingly fun! I visited here twice, with and without express pass. I would say it is a lot better to buy the express pass. Without it, you probably spend 1-2 hours lining up for everything and ended up exhausted. I think the express pass has a limited amount, after being sold somewhat, the price is doubled. Be sure to buy in advance! The attractions are nice as usual. The best time to visit would be autumn or spring. In summer, it was too hot to enjoy and you get tired very fast as well. For the Super Mario World, you need an area-time ticket, which can be booked when you buy an express pass or via USJ app when you arrive at the park. The app is very convenient, you can book ride for many attractions without having to run to the kiosk anymore. I bought the ticket via KLOOK since I don’t have a credit card to buy directly from the website.

    It was super fun, but also super crowded. Wait times were hours long, however that is kinda to be expected at a super popular theme park. I will say the lines were always moving witch (in my opinion) made it feel like I wasn't waiting as long as I was. The rides were very cool and lots of fun! I would 100% recommend the Spider-Man ride as it is lots of fun (also most if not all the line is indoors and air conditioned). Lots of yummy food and vending machines everywhere. The gift shops had tons of cool/cute merchandise, so make sure you bring money. I will mention though, (as of right now) if you want to go to the Super Mario world area, you need to get separate tickets ahead of time! Since it's so new and so many people want to go if buy regular U.S.J tickets, Super Mario World is not included. There is a raffle you can do to try and get in, but it's unlikely you'll win. I will also say if it's hot when your going BRING A FAN! I had a mini electric fan and it was great (a non electric paper or plastic fan works too). I would also recommend a sweat towel. Make sure you find time to rest and sit as well because rest is important. Make sure stay hydrated as well. Overall very fun, but hot and crowded!

    went on a weekend and it was SO hot in September. obviously poorly planned on our part. But they did have halloween horror nights already and it was included in our regular tickets so that was really cool. the park is nice, and clean and the staff are very nice. I will say that they are very particular about testing if you fit in the seats before you get on the ride, and many of the rides are built for small (size and height wise) people. we were still able to go on almost all of the rides. It was also nice that they had a good amount of the shows in both Japanese and English. overall it was a good experience. And Mario world was amazing.

    Fun place for everyone. I have never seen an amusement park with friendlier staff than here. The rides are also very creative and exciting. Super Nintendo World is highly recommendable for fans. But expect long waiting times for the rides everywhere in the park (average 2 hours). The food is very delicious and the prices are acceptable, considering that it is an amusement park.

    Had a nice time but the amount of crowds experienced on a weekday don't make sense. If I even have to queue for 20-30 minutes to get a quick snack when do I get to enjoy the park fully? I've been in tons of parks and only Disney parks manage to somewhat control the queues in eating places and attractions. Of course I know that I should expect queues in main attractions but there was a point when everything had at least 2 hours long queues to enter. (Hollywood ride was 3). We had to wait 1 hour to get some food at lunch and luckily it was better at dinner time. In fact, what made the day kind of worth were the final hours when people started leaving and we could get a couple of cool rides in. Overall, I think that the park allows too many visitors for what it has to offer at the moment. It was better before it became so popular some years ago.

    We spent an entire day at Universal Japan and it was a blast! Here are some helpful tips for those that will be visiting: - Purchase the Express Pass for the rides to avoid the wait times in the long lines. - Bring a backpack with snacks and water. The food and restaurant wait times can be long, depending on how busy they are. - Wear good walking shoes and expect to walk 20,000+ steps if you are spending an entire day there. - Bring a battery pack and cable to charge your phone. - Purchase tickets in advance. Overall, we had a great time and we’re able to do 5 rides. The Flying Dinosaur ride was quite intense and least favorite from our group. We really enjoyed these rides: Harry Potter, Mario Kart, and Spider-Man.

    Universal Studios Japan exceeded all expectations, delivering an extraordinary blend of excitement and entertainment. From heart-pounding rides that defy gravity to enchanting shows that captivate the imagination, every corner of the park is a new adventure waiting to unfold. The attention to detail in recreating beloved movie worlds is astonishing, making you feel like you've stepped into the magic of Hollywood. The friendly staff adds to the positive experience, ensuring a seamless visit. Whether you're a thrill-seeker or a fan of movie magic, Universal Studios Japan is a haven for unforgettable moments. It's a place where dreams come to life, and the memories created will last a lifetime. Highly recommended for families, friends, and anyone ready for a dose of pure fun!

    (Translated by Google) An interesting theme park based on the products of the Universal film studio ("Harry Potter", "Spider-Man", "Despicable Me", "Minions", "Water World"). The same Disneyland, only from a different manufacturer. Lots of original rides, the most atmospheric one is Harry Potter (be sure to visit!). The impression can be spoiled by huge queues. There are fewer people in rainy weather. Experienced visitors are advised to come early in the day before the park opens, but it seems that many do the same :( We came in the afternoon and walked calmly to most of the attractions. In addition, after 15:00 the entrance ticket price is 25% below. (Original) Интересный тематический парк по мотивам продуктов киностудии Universal ("Гарри Поттер", "Спайдер-мэн", "Гадкий Я", "Миньоны", "Водный Мир"). Тот же самый Диснейленд, только от другого производителя. Множество оригинальных аттракционов, самый атмосферный - Гарри Поттер (обязательно посетите!). Впечатление могут подпортить огромные очереди. В дождливую погоду народу меньше. Бывалые посетители советуют приходить ни свет ни заря ещё до открытия парка, но, похоже, многие делают так же :( Мы пришли во вторую половину дня и спокойно прошли на большинство аттракционов. Кроме того, после после 15:00 цена входного билета на 25% ниже.

    How can you not visit this place when you come to Osaka? The Nintendo theme park is definitely amazing and breathtaking. I could probably spent five hours in here just to look at the details of the construction. There are no words to describe how fun and exciting the ride was. I would say it’s definitely worth an hour or two to wait for the ride, although I did have a fast pass before coming into the theme park. Do not miss out on this area I would recommend to come to the park early and to go directly to the Nintendo area and come back later in the afternoon towards the evening because both as unique look and feel during the day and night

    First time going to a universal studios and this place didn’t disappoint. Highly recommend reserving a fast pass in advance. We hardly waited in live and it guarantees a visit to Nintendo world(which was super packed). Highly recommend the flying dinosaur ride! That one was the best! Staff are so friendly. They seemed to have opened the doors earlier than what was on google. We went on a Wednesday and it was raining and it was still very packed.

    Universal Studios Japan offered an amazing experience during my visit in Japan. Arriving early at 6:30am allowed me to secure a good spot in line before the park opened at 8am, although it was busy due to school holidays. To explore Super Nintendo World, use the Universal Studios app while inside the park close to Jaws to secure a time slot in Super Nintendo World was something that caught me off guard but it was easy to do. :) During peak periods, consider the express pass to avoid long lines if you can afford it. The park's wide range of rides and attractions, I didn't quite get it before but now I understand why they offer multiple day passes because there is so much to do!

    Recommend to buy the tickets in advance to save you a long wait. The queue is extremely long. You could just enter the site via the entrance meant for people who purchase the tickets early. Visited USJ two days in a row, we went mostly to the Sesame Street corner for our kids. There is ample fun there and the kids can enjoy the attractions whole day long.

    Really enjoyed visiting this park. We got there at 7am to line up for entry, and the gates opened at 8:20. We didn't buy any fast passes, so we headed straight to Super Nintendo World. It was really amazing how colourful it was. Loved all the activities with the wristband, but I'd advise trying the rides first as the lines can get super long. This section of the park was also much smaller than I anticipated. Next, we visited Harry Potter World, and that was just stunning. Great attention to detail, and the rides were amazing. The one inside the castle was awe-inspiring. I found the cost of the interactive wand to be measured (around 26€) and going to the different areas to try cast the spells was so fun! 100/10 The rest of the park was mostly good, but definitely aimed for families with children.

    I wouldn’t go to a theme park in the most densely populated country in the world thinking I won’t have to wait in lines so I had common sense and bought fast passes and Mario world tickets in advance. I had a fantastic time. I didn’t wait in line for one ride for more than 40 minutes, but most waits were 20 mins or less. The workers were very helpful and polite. The food and souvenirs are so much cheaper compared to America.

    We came to Osaka just to come here and it did not disappoint, the lines are nuts but make sure you pre buy your passes and also get the time entry for Mario, at least for us that was the one we came for. We got to the park at 7.15 am and the opening time was 8.30 am, the line was very long but moved quickly enough as they started to let people in just before 8.30am. The staff were all super friendly, we had some snacks in our bag for the day and during bag inspection we were told you are not allowed to consume them in the park, but did not ask me to remove them, super polite, in the US they would have told me to get rid of them for sure. Bring some water and fans to keep you cool as it was a hot day when we went (95F +), water was only about 250Yen in the park so not too bad compared to other theme parks.

    Miserable experience. My friend and I were looking forward to this for months, especially to see the new Mario World. Despite showing up early, all the entry passes were gone once we got there. We entered the lottery for a standby ticket, but didn't get picked. And for some reason you only get one lottery ticket per day. We were literally there the entire day, from opening to closing, and got the same number of chances as someone who showed up at 8pm. How is that fair at all? Completely unfair and a really slimy business model clearly designed to either get you to cough up $130 for a pass to enter, or keep coming back and hope you just get lucky. Either way, I refuse to support it. Horrible business practices from Universal. You'll never see me here again.

    A really fun day out! We went in peak summer time and it is VERY crowded and hot. The ride wait times are long so come prepared and bring your patience. We couldn’t see Nintendo land as we were told on the day that extra tickets had to be pre purchased for this, which we weren’t aware of. The fast pass tickets for rides are outrageously expensive and sell out well in advance. Harry Potter world was by far our fave.

    A magical place for everyone. Brings our childhood memories back in a good way. Best place to go here with boys who love superheroes, Super Mario Bros, Minions, etc. There are also several kid-friendly areas such as Universal Wonderland, Minion Park. However, it is best to invite your child who is at least 107-122cm tall because that is the average requirement for a fun ride. Try to avoid national holidays, special events, and weekends as they will be very crowded. Also try to avoid summer season as it is very hot. Have fun!

    PLEASE READ: If you are planning to visit Super Nintendo World, one day before, scan all the tickets you have. On the next day, after passing through the park gate, go to the app -> time entry ticket -> area timed entry ticket. Then, you need to scroll down to access the tickets. It's crucial to do this early in the morning; otherwise, you might not get a chance. On my first day, I tried around 10 am, and there were no more tickets available for Nintendo Park, so I did it on my second day. On the other hand, it was my first time in a Universal Studios park, and my experience was a perfect 10/10. There are a few rides where you may have to wait in line for about 50 minutes or more, so I recommend purchasing express tickets in advance. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did! 👌

    Very fun place for a day trip. Lots of fun rides and can be pretty quick lines if you’re lucky. Food was quite expensive but was tasty and the restaurants were visually appealing. The base ticket worked just fine for us and we got most of the things done that we wanted to do. I would suggest going early so you can get a good time for the Super Nintendo world. Nintendo world was extremely busy and the rest bands were a bit more expensive than I thought they would be. Magical place even though it was extremely hot.

    Had an amazing day at Universal Studios Japan! We went during Halloween so it was crowded, but it was still so much fun! We did get express passes and they were definitely worth it, we were able to go on rides with only a 5-15 min wait (instead of 80+ min). The staff were all extremely friendly too. Food was meh, but the fact that it was pretty much all themed (and looking very cute) made up for it. Unforgettable experience!

    - arrive very early and make sure you know what you want to do before you go in, and do it as early as possible. The lines for attractions can get very long (over 3 and a half hours). - lots of opportunities for shopping on your way out, so don't spend time doing that if you don't need to. - the park is very crowded and busy, the volume can be overwhelming. - everything is very well done and the staff are very good.

    Absolutely gorgeous if you like theme parks. Please keep in mind that you need a separate "Area Entry Pass" for Nintendo World! If you failed to get it in advance (klook is very good for this), make sure to be there early and rush towards the on-site distribution. Generally wait times are long but with the Universal App, you can see an estimate on the rides, without going there only to be disappointed. Wednesdays and Thursdays are the best days to visit, as schools often do excursions there on Mondays and Tuesdays!

    It's got long wait times but the shows were amazing. Be prepared to wait 2hrs for some rides. Generally 45mins wait for most attractions. Best to go early and stay late. Only one seafood option available, not halal friendly. Could definitely have more halal options. For some rides you need a timed ticket which you can get via the app. Make sure to get the App on app store.

    We visited in early November. We got there more than 1h before opening time and the queue was quite massive already , although they did open the gates about 1h before the advertised time on the website, it still took about 30 minutes to enter. Once you enter everybody will run towards the Nintendo world as this is the area that still requires an entry time ticket. You can't purchase this unless your park ticket has already been scanned. I would recommend having your app open and as soon as you scan your park ticket go in the app to book a free time slot to enter Nintendo. You will still have to wait in a queue once you get there, but at least you will have guaranteed entry. HP World did not require any additional tickets at the time we visited, so that was our next stop after Nintendo. Nintendo interactive bracelets. These are cool and can be bought as a souvenir as well. However, you do not need them for the rides. You DO need them if you want to play the small interactive games scattered throughout the park and gain points throughout the day. However, as far as I am aware you can't use the points for anything. One thing to be aware of is that if you choose to wait in line for the mini games (to earn your keys and points that will help you progress through the different mini game locations) you will be paired with strangers. This was quite disappointing, as we waited in line for 15 mins to play one of the games that required 3-4 players at once. My boyfriend and I were then paired with a mom and a 4-5 year old kid. The mom did not play but rather filmed the kid playing and the kid was too young to help us or really understand the game. If you don't win, you don't get the keys that you need to progress through the mini games and if you want to try again you need to wait in line again. Bit of a let down to be honest and we ended choosing not to participate in any other mini games because of this. You can still use the bracelet to tab the Mario Cubes to get points but that's pretty much it.

    Buy ticket early as 3 months prior as they sold out quickly. I bought mine from Klook apps. Do come on weekdays if you could as there are quite a crowd even on weekdays. Imagine what it would be like if it was on weekend? 😅 come early at least 30minutes before opening time as they might open the gate earlier than opening time. I would actually suggest for you to get express pass if you have extra money to splurge as it would help you to get on as many ride as possible as most of the famous rides would take 90-120minutes of waiting time. But if you couldn't, then I would suggest for you to go and line up on the single rider. It might help in reducing the waiting time a bit. Overall it was fun.

    Went two days in a row and I can tell you that there is everything for everyone. For kids, adults and thrill seekers or people just enjoying the atmosphere. Ride queues were long but not too long. We had bought express passes for both days and my brother and I went on the flying dinosaur a total of 12 times and we loved going on it every time. On the Mario kart ride, my brother had dropped his hat and even before leaving the ride, the crew members had already seen it drop on the security cameras and informed us about it. This shows how amazing the crew members are at coordination and security. Luckily it didn’t land on the rail but beside so they didn’t have to shut off the ride but they ended up sending it to where we were staying( the universal oriental hotel) the very next morning. My super band also didn’t work on the time I went and I suspect it was due to someone pressing their band again after the ride was over right before I got on and my scores were not recorded on the usj app. The crew members were kind enough to let me go on the ride again without having me queue with an extra person through the child switch queue. All in all, universal studios Japan is an amazing attraction for all people of all ages looking for different things. Security amazing, all the crew members were super kind and helpful and the rides were amazing. Next year donkey Kong country is being released and the Spider-Man ride is being removed. Although I doubt I will be returning soon, I look forward to my next trip.

    Great time at Universal Studios Japan. I was there in November and it does get a bit cold. Overall I’d say it was worth the day. Getting the express pass is pretty much a must, as the lines are really long. The rides were pretty good (though lacking compared to the US parks), and the atmosphere was great. Super Nintendo land was definitely one of the highlights, but wow does it get crowded in there. Still, if you have kids they will be in awe. It was really done well, great job with the theme. There are little games and activities to do between rides, jump up and get some coins. Grab a power up band to track your activity and progress. The Mario Kart ride was fun, and Yoshi’s Adventure was worth it just to get a good view of true land and relax for a bit. There are some rides that have a single rider lane, and most go pretty quickly in single rider lane. The Sing show was incredible for adults and kids. Finished the night on the Hollywood dream all lit up, and it was the perfect ending for a great night. Definitely crowded, but to be expected.

    One of the best and popular attraction of the Japan is Universal studio in Osaka. Had a great time at Universal Studios! There’s fun for everyone thrill seekers and people who don’t like rides. The shows and parades were fun! Halloween time is fun because there’s scary zombies in the evening. The Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey was the best ride in my opinion! Universal Studios train their staff really well; the staff are really friendly, helpful, nice and always have smiles on their faces. When u visit to Osaka than don’t forget to go to Universal Studio. It is for one whole day at least. It is full of thrilling rides specially Hollywood dreamers, flying dinosaur, Jurassic Park, Harry potter and much more. Try to arrive early in morning to avail the chance of enjoying all rides and shows because as time passes the queue became longer and waste your time for each ride to wait. Most recommended rides are harry porter, Hollywood dreamers and Jurassic park. Important note for MUSLIMS- inside Universal Studio you cant find halal restaurants so it is better to bring you own food or snacks for the whole day.

    One of my best memory in Japan. It was really worth it although the ticket is quite pricy. I was lucky to be able to visit on the last day before they announced temporary closure due to Covid on February 29, 2020. It wasn't crowded at that time and we easily get to play harry potter after entrance opened and played so many attraction smoothly without long queue. The turkey leg and harry potter beer are highly recommended food and drinks here. Hopefully the pandemic will end soon so we can visit again !

    An amazing experience from beginning to end. Install the app for wait times. Shows are not mentioned : Waterworks and Wand magic are two hidden gems. Of the rollercoasters, backdraft is a more exciting experience than hollywood ride. The flying dinosaur is amazing. The first ride you should queue for might be mentioned as Harry Potter forbidden journey, but the lines for that are relatively small so you should enter later. All wait times drop around lunch time.

    (Translated by Google) I got on the Doraemon attraction, but I don't know if I didn't get enough sleep or if I was originally apt to get drunk, but I got drunk. After that, I couldn't move for about 3 hours lol However, I enjoyed Universal, which I went to for the first time in 15 years. It was raining so I couldn't see the show outside, but I still enjoyed watching the monster show! I want to go again when the corona calms down.

    (Translated by Google) NewNintendoWorld was open in the form of a technical open. Now before the grand opening, you can enter without a numbered ticket. I was able to ride attractions and buy souvenir sweets. If you go on weekdays, you can enter all other attractions without an express pass. USJ on 2/8 was admitted at 10 o'clock, but most attractions were open from 12 o'clock. I only put in Nintendo. Most restaurants and food stalls were also open from 12:00. Harry Potter was also vacant, and I put in three sweets without lining up. (Original) NewNintendoWorldは、テクニカルオープンという形で営業してました。グランドオープン前の今なら整理券なしで入れます。アトラクションも乗れましたし、お土産のお菓子も購入できました。平日に行けば他のアトラクションもエクスプレスパスなしで全て入れます。2/8のUSJは10時に入場でしたが、ほとんどのアトラクションは12時からの営業でした。ニンテンドーしか入れませんでした。ほとんどのレストランや屋台(ストール)も12時からの営業でした。ハリポタも空いていて、3本のお菓子も並ばずに入れました。

Before games like the harry potter that had to line up for 2 hours, the time to go to the weekly bow was only 30-45 minutes, even less than the usual day before. Any game is only 2 hours long.

    Good place and very nostalgic but too many long lines and crowded areas. For the people who don't know, they do a raffle to get into some parks, regardless if you paid for the whole park or you're VIP, so if you came all the way from say Hokkaido and wanted to see Mario World or Harry Potter or whichever but you don't get your number picked on the raffle then you cannot, again cannot, go in whatsoever. You can see about buying their expensive ticket for all entry but that's very limited in itself so if you try to buy it once you're here you'll be let down. Very disappointing and they switch raffles for the parks every so often so keep that in mind if you had a certain theme park trip planned.

  • 4/5 Amy S. 2 years ago on Google

Toys were very very expensive and didn't feel worth to buy anything Food Taste - 4/5 Ambience- 4/5 Cleanliness -4/5 Worthiness -1/5 Hospitality & Staff Behaviour - 3/5 location: very good locality close to airport and railway station.

    I love how unique USJ is from other US. It has it’s own merchandise specifically for Japan. I would recommend getting the express pass and a 1-day ticket instead of a 2-day ticket no express pass. It’s definitely worth it even during the pandemic since it’s still packed. Also, you may enter the park starting 9am although it opens officially at 10am.

  • 5/5 ZongYen L. 1 year ago on Google
    Express ticket is highly recommended. I spent one whole day here and it was really fun and worth it. My recommendation for Harry Potter fans: Go to the Wizarding World of Harry Potter first, then come again in the evening before you leave. You don’t need to use the express ticket first because the queue is not very long in the morning, you can save the express for later if you would like to ride again. The village looks so different day and night, it is more cinematic at night. Trust me. 😊👍

    Very nice spot. Not too English friendly but reminders and announcements are in English as well. Came here for Mario world and it was amazing. Great exclusive items in the gift shop. It's a bit smaller than I imagined and ride lines were quite long dispute being there before closing.

  • 5/5 Maxime B. 1 year ago on Google
    Went there for Halloween, and we stayed until 9:30PM. It's an incredible theme park, and the activities are very good, so it's well worth the price. The only downside is that accessing the Nintendo World area can be a bit difficult because many people want to visit it, so I would advise getting your Area Entry ticket as soon as possible when you get in the park, so you can head there during the day ! You can do so from the Central Park area, and the staff is friendly enough to help you and guide you through the process. Speaking of the staff, I don't have much to say. They're very competent, and super friendly, and they were super cheerful as well, which made the experience even better ! So, if you're staying a few days in Osaka, and can afford the tickets, do yourself a favour, and spend a day there. And arrive as soon as possible, especially considering that the wait time for some attractions reach 90-120+ minutes very, very quickly, even in the morning !

  • 5/5 Stav N. 1 year ago on Google

  • 5/5 Adams_coffee 1 year ago on Google
    Had an absolutely amazing day here. Went on a Saturday which was quite packed but used the express ticket (highly recommended) which made life easy! The attractions were absolutely incredible, from Harry Potter to Super Mario World to Jurassic Park, we had so much fun. The roller-coasters are awesome, the Mario Cart AR experience is out of this world and so was one of the Harry Potter rides. The park itself is easily accessible and a full day with express tickets will be just what you need to cover it all!

  • 4/5 Andrew K. 1 year ago on Google
    It's such an amazing place and a lot of fun. It is very busy though so the wait times for the best rides are very long. Also the queues for any kind of food are very long too. Try to buy a ticket well in advance of going which includes timed entry into Mario world. I missed out on that area because I couldn't get an entry ticket through the lotto system while in the park. Overall a great experience, and would recommend to anyone, but be prepared for a long day.

  • 4/5 Wol Jinju Vinson (. 9 months ago on Google
    It was packed, but full of fun memorable moments. Honestly I love how beautiful everything was the the workers were super sweet, friendly and very helpful. The lines seem long, but they actually go by faster than you think. The intense rides will make u place your belongings in lockers or on the side and they WILL check you to make sure you took everything out your pocket. There was many places however that felt very claustrophobic and very crowded. HALF of the park included Harry Potter and Super Nintendo world which was super hard to get into unless you got lucky and won their online lottery draw or somehow got their earlier enough to buy an entry pass, but all of that was not easily explained and with tons of people also trying to get in you have to really try your hardest to get into those areas.

  • 5/5 M J. 9 months ago on Google
    In common, all universal studios look alike. The newest theme park here is harry potter which you can experience the town as you are in the film. The 3D rides are good. The small roller coaster is also good. We don't dare to ride the flying roller coaster which turns you upsidedown with lots of twisting. Scaring but yet look interesting.

  • 4/5 A B. 9 months ago on Google
    Very fun place but too long a wait for many activities. You need to have lot of energy and patience. The Nintendo world was awesome but had to wait more than an hour for a 20 min ride. Saw many families leave the line midway. The lines are so long but not visible from outside as there are many connected rooms just for lining up.

  • 4/5 Daniel V. 8 months ago on Google
    Lines were crazy at a few times, and it was hot and uncomfortable, however we had a great time. I wish there was more seating and more shade options especially in lines. As for Nintendo world I wish more interactive boxes were available in the queues to make waiting more enjoyable. It was definitely worth it and I also want to note it was very affordable. Unlike the states there is no captive audience fee for drinks. Small surcharge but no way the same as in the USA. Will be coming back to keep using our power up bands!!!

  • 5/5 Naé N. 9 months ago on Google
    Great fun for the whole family! My husband and I just finished up our honeymoon here and we both had a blast! The rides, although had long waits, were thrilling. I like roller coasters, but my husband does not, so I got to get on a lot faster than most. The meals were fantastic, and the staff was always extra cheerful. Definitely bring sunscreen because you don’t want to be in line burning. Many of the rides do have lockers so you can put your stuff away before getting on. I highly recommend coming on a weekday and getting in line for any of the thrill rides first if you’re not one to wait around.

    Even on a hot summer weekday, the lines began forming way before they opened. Luckily, we purchased tickets in advance and only had to wait about 15 minutes before getting into the park. We bought express passes but it's important to note that they do not work the same way that they do at Universal Studios in Orlando. You buy express passes for specific rides and some are tied to a specific time. The highlight of the trip was definitely Super Nintendo World. The atmosphere is incredible and the amount of detail they put into it is obvious. Mario Kart Koopa's Challenge was an incredible augmented reality ride. And all the interactive stuff with the power bands was really cool. They even had the characters come out in costumes! Another one of my favorite parts of the park was the Flying Dinosaur ride. We got seats at the front and flew throughout the park in a prone position. The views were incredible! I definitely recommend visiting even if it is to just check out Super Nintendo World and the Flying Dinosaur. Of course, if you're a fan of Nintendo, Harry Potter, Minions, or Jurassic Park, then you will definitely enjoy the atmosphere and find some cool souvenirs.

    Enjoyable day at the park. Recommendations - get an Express pass to beat the queue. Stay around after 6pm as many rides had shorter queues. We visited in August and it was very hot. Drink lots and find shelter.

    Loved every moment of it. Not sure who enjoyed it more, me or my 8 year old daughter. So much to do. I would recommend getting the express pass so that you get a guaranteed entry into Nintendo world, which is fantastic if you love the Mario games.

    4 stars for the cool place but just like another theme park. You're going there to line up. There is a line for everything. Make sure you watch those videos to ensure you get the best out of the visit without missing anything you may have wanted to visit within the park.

    It was so happy but unfortunately for me that I can’t buy the express ticket because it had been sold out!! so the waiting time for each attraction is 70 to 140 minutes 🥴 Highly recommend for you guy that is Harry Potter, Minion,… And don’t forget to buy a butter beer at Harry Potter zone. It was soooo delicious!

    Awesome exciting very creative place for kids and adults. I especially enjoyed The Wizarding World of Harry Potter and Super Nintendo World. The place is very clean immaculate even. Everyone is kind and helpful always with a smile on their face. I would definitely recommend going.

    The ride is fun, especially the Harry Potter one. A lot of cool rides, but it is more for adults, especially the one with height requirement. The queue is okay, but some ride 100% need express pass. Some of the staff is not friendly, especially when you do not understand Japanese. Kind of different experience with Disneyland where they even compliment you and wave at you all the time.

    Always such a good time in USJ. The attention to detail when it comes to theming the parks is just exceptional and admirable. You really feel transported in a different world every time you step into a different area of the park. The rides are fun and updated which make the waiting times a bit more bearable since you're immersed with the engaging environment. Was also able to experience the parade which was fun especially for the kids. Park staff were friendly and extremely helpful in finding a lost phone and hat from our group. A top notch theme park experience. A must when in Osaka!

    A lot of fun!! even if going in summer time. Shorter waiting time (1 to 1.5 hrs without express) but it was so hot and a bit hard to find the place to sit and eat over the lunch time. I think going in another season where the weather is cooler might be better. Recommend to buy the express ticket as well. Worth it!!

  • 5/5 Ivan L. 7 months ago on Google
    World-class theme park. Exciting amusement rides and famous movie characters are there. Many visitors come on weekends and holidays. I recommend buying an express pass to play more games within the day. The expenses are really high, but it's worth it.

  • 5/5 Zoé A. 6 months ago on Google
    Had a great day at universal studios. The rides are all in Japanese so I didn’t understand a lot of what was going on but still enjoyed it. Like any theme park there are queues for literally everything from the rides to the restaurants and snack vans. All the staff are extremely lovely and try to help as much as possible. If you’re hoping to visit Nintendo World don’t forget you need to buy additional tickets. I would also recommend getting express passes as this helps you go on as many rides as you can in the day!

  • 5/5 Javier T. 6 months ago on Google
    Overall an extremely wonderful experience, from a diverse variety of rides to shows, there was also a huge options to purchase merchandise. Food options were multi-cultural as well. Definitely recommend for both thrill seekers and relaxed travellers alike.

    I find that Universal studios Japan has always been a more comprehensive experience compared to Disney land and Disney Sea. I say this because I think most people traveling from abroad generally go to both. There is so much to do so I would highly recommend getting there early and staying late or making it a multi day excursion if you want to get the most out of the park. We purchased tickets in advance online, which I would highly recommend with any of the parks in Japan as they often sell out on the day of. Our visit was during the halloween season so in the evenings there are zombies that walk through the park to scare you. For a theme park the food was exceeded my expectations throughout the park and would recommend trying out the vast majority of it. Definitely recommend visiting as its one of the better amusement parks located in Japan.

    Went here in summer on a weekday and it was very hot. Be prepared with face towels and portable fans. The lines for the Harry Potter ride, Flying Dinosaur and Mario Kart were very long. Waited 2 hours maybe. Better to get your timed entry ticket right away for Nintendo world because we got ours a bit late and entered Nintendo World at 7pm. We were able to do almost all the rides by 6pm so we were just relaxing at the restaurant at Jurassic Park while waiting. Food is very expensive and drinks at the vending machines as well. It is possible to bring your own snacks so I recommend bringing if you don’t want to spend so much money.

  • 5/5 Leo L. 5 months ago on Google
    Undoubtedly, one of the most remarkable amusement parks worldwide that you must visit is here! I had an absolutely fantastic day exploring this park with the Universal Express Pass, which greatly expedited our time to wait for the lines. The staff members were exceptionally friendly and hospitable, ensuring an unforgettable experience. The adorable souvenirs available were a delightful addition to the visit.

    Fantastic rides and theme based attractions which span hours of walking and also wait times by its popularity with many visitors who love roller coasters and the intensity of them [here], at this Universal Studios Park location. Drawing thousands upon thousands of people of all ages, and backgrounds, families included, to Universal Studios Japan, indeed it is notably greatly one of most memorable and exciting highlights while vacationing in Osaka. Having an absolutely stunning array of many kinds of showcases, presentations, stage shows, to dance and party in musical events which delight audiences every single day during the weekday and nights. One of the greatest things of the park are families who love to be here along with their children enjoying the theme attractions for children with friends alike. Especially seeing this spot as a perfect place for young couples dating which makes Universal Studios a very very special occasion designed for everyone for any age. Highly recommended, it will however take at least two or three days to get through all of the park’s rides and attractions on average without a fast pass. Tickets are purchased upon entry into the park and are available throughout the day to evening hours. Plan accordingly since weather conditions can change, stall, or delay permitting a full day’s itinerary. Since the weekends and evenings are also highly subject to drawing huge crowds, often overflowing nonstop with fun-loving people from everywhere it’s moreover the bestseller for anytime during the annualized seasonal holiday activities and festivals! So come to Universal Studios! You will be amazed at an unforgettable time filled by exceptional excitement and enthusiasm!

    Don’t miss the “ no limit “ parade.We had so much fun n most interesting part is to super Mario Nintendo world. Be there early in you fancy to play more games. A lot of nice merchandises and gifts to shop! Recommend to stay nearby USJ hotel after long day activities

  • 4/5 Moony D. 4 months ago on Google
    Very packed as to be expected. If you’re planning to visit Super Nintendo then definitely book in advance so you get an entry ticket earlier in the day. We got unlucky and was only able to visit and enter by 8pm which isn’t enough time at all to complete everything. Also, if you’re going to Super Nintendo land, make sure you buy a bracelet or you won’t be able to enter many ride areas. Also, recommend you to download the mobile app that goes along with the bracelet. (Which is $42,000 yen by the way) The Harry Potter area was my personal favourite out of everything. The rides were good, so is the food and even just the general decoration and architecture of the area. Really makes you feel like you’re there in that world just like the movies. Giving it an overall 4/5 because the cost of the bracelets for Super Nintendo world is a complete rip off. You’re already paying for an entry ticket, makes no sense to have to fork out an additional $42,000 yen for the bracelet just to enable you entering other ride areas. Also, if you’re an English speaking visitor, you won’t understand a lot of the rides as they are in Japanese.

    Fun park but massively busy. Need to prep in advance if you want to go to Nintendo world. We didn't get to go. A few of the rides were 2 hour queues. Stay into the evening for less queues. They also don't let you leave once you're inside which seemed unfair as lots of good restaurants are just outside.

    Autumn 28 Nov 23 and my last visit was in Summer of 07. Park was well maintained and all staffs were very welcoming and made the experience very enjoyable! Though food options were not cheap but at least quality is not bad and the items were all delicious and visually pleasing. The Hollywood Dream ride is now upgraded with Backdrop! There's one que for the express pass entry on the left which then later splits into two. Very thrilling to be riding a roller coaster backwards and it was an amazing feeling to be on this particular ride! The only disappointment of the day was that Mario Kart was out of service when it was time for entry at about 6pm. And the place was super crowded... It's a good thing that I purchased the express pass and rode on 9 thrill rides since entry at 8.30am and left at 7pm.

  • 5/5 Tommaso M. 4 months ago on Google
    An electrifying and lively experience if you are in Osaka, each attraction is worth experiencing because the organization and effects are top-notch, both in terms of the various roller coaster rides and the live shows! There really is something for everyone, young and adult alike! We didn't have any big lines thanks to the Express ticket, which I highly recommend to maximize the time spent having fun. For the one attraction (Jaws) we did without the Express ticket however we only waited 30/40 minutes in the late afternoon so not that bad.

    It was a day like a dream. Everything was beautiful and elaborate. Lots of games and lots of shops selling stuff. Harry Potter World was the best. The place was very crowded. The waiting time was very long, up to two hours, but it was worth the wait. You should go early, too. I recommend downloading the Universal application, it will help you a lot.

  • 5/5 Steven R. 3 months ago on Google New
    Great value for the money. It was cold - really cold. But the rides were all in good form (headlines a few days ago had people upside down on a ride) 🫣 four kids and four adults ate, did a few kiddy rides, shopped, and took lots of great photographs to capture the moment. Staff were very attentive and spoke English; surprise to me. Prices for food; YIKES. Security was present and employees knew their jobs well. It was a great workout, walking all over campus. Didn’t buy into the Mario watch or Harry Potter wizard wand ($$$$). But, it was fun for the kids.
