The Wizarding World of Harry Potter

Universal Studios Japan Harry Potter Address: 2 Chome-1-33 Sakurajima, Konohana Ward, Osaka, 554-0031, Japan Get a timed entry during peak period to enter The Wizarding World of Harry Potter or you can choose to come on a low peak season. One time, I was here during the typhoon seasons and there was no queue to enter Harry Potter World and there was no need to use express pass too. I took my time to look through all their merchandise and played at their interactive zones. I have come to USJ several times and tried out the many versions of butter beer such as hot butterbeer, frozen butterbeer and so on like ice cream and fudge. To clarify, it is not a real beer. It is just vanilla ice cream with ice cream soda and butterscotch. #japan #createwithtrip #overseastripmoments #urbanexplorer

Harry Potter theme park in Osaka is really amazing. I even felt that I could use magic to fly in this place!! 🤩Does it sound great? here is very cool after walk around outside where the highest temperature is 32 degrees. Again it feels like being in the magical world of Harry Potter. Sitting in a magic car and feel the excitement of the magic world.🙆🏻‍♀️ #happynewyear

Halloween reminds us of trip moment to Universal Studio Japan and enjoy The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. We are lucky to visit on Friday with less crowd. We could experience the ride of Harry Potter the Forbidden Journey, saw the wand magic show, and a bird coaster. There are many jack-o lantern decoration near the castle during Halloween season.

You don't need an Express Pass with this guide to Universal Studios Osaka

Universal Studios Japan in Osaka has a great overall atmosphere, and it's the most enthusiastic of the four Universal Studios parks I've visited. However, without a good strategy, you'll end up waiting in long lines and might miss the Nintendo area, so I've put together the following guide: ✅【Preparation】 ❶ Purchase tickets online in advance, then download the USJ app and link your tickets. ❷ Bring 100-yen coins (for lockers), disposable raincoats (you might get wet on water rides), and a water bottle. ❸ Bring a power bank and other electronic devices. ⭐️【On the Day】 ❶ Operating hours: Generally from 8 AM to 9/10 PM, but it varies daily, so be sure to check in advance before you go. ❷ Those who enter first can head straight to Nintendo (if you enter early, you don't need a timed entry ticket to play, see USJ live for details), or you can draw a digital timed entry ticket using the USJ app after scanning your ticket to enter the park, and choose a suitable time. ❸ If you don't get a free digital timed entry ticket, you can also buy one on-site at the Nintendo area entrance (limited quantity, 2000 yen), with a designated entry time. 📮【Tour Order】 ❶ Nintendo: Includes Mario Kart, Yoshi's Adventure (a train ride through the Mario area), and Power Up Band Challenges. ❷ Harry Potter: 4D experience, Hippogriff flight. ❸ Hollywood: Demon Slayer XR experience - a must-go, Hollywood Dream ride, 4D experience area. ❹ Minions: Mischievous ride. ❺ Jurassic Park: Flying Dinosaur coaster, boat ride. ❻ WaterWorld: Multiple shows available, check USJ for schedule, showtimes vary by month. ❼ Amity Village: Jaws. ❽ Universal Wonderland: A mix of various IPs, great for photos. ❾ Parade: There's only one at 2 PM, goes around Hollywood, with characters like Mario and Pokémon coming out for a close-up celebration, great atmosphere, see image 1 for the parade route. ❤️【Ticket Purchase】 For those worried about not being good at Japanese or not knowing how to buy tickets, you can purchase them on Ctrip. Remember to book in advance and check the official website for operating hours before you go.

🧙🏻‍♀️ Into the world of Harry Potter

#japantrip Finally the wait is over! Here is my another bucket list! The first thing arriving Harry Potter world is to queue up for the famous Butter Beer (non-alcoholic). The taste was great and smooth 😉 recommend to get one with the reusable cup, just need to pay some extra buck. Back to this area, I was so fascinated by all the life-sized sorcerer buildings and details they put up. And there is even a real wizard wand (easily up to 20 variations to choose) for you to be a day of wizard here! You can also use the wand to cast some magic at the train area to collect some kind of points 😉

A must-visit amusement park in Osaka — Universal Studios Japan

📍Detailed address: 〒554-0031 Osaka Prefecture, Osaka City, Konohana Ward, Sakurajima 2 Chome-1-33 🕙Operating hours: During the peak season these days, it's from 8:00 to 22:00, and they basically start letting people in at 7:45 in the morning ⏳Playtime: It's very sunny during the day, and it's usually quite tiring after playing for most of the day 💰Average cost: The tickets were quite expensive on the days we went, with an advance online booking of 528 per person 🌟Play experience: Universal Studios Japan was established quite early, and the park is huge, divided into 8 areas. Unique to Japan is the Super Mario area, as well as special zones for anime characters like Doraemon. The opening and closing times vary every day. We went in mid-August, just in time for the Obon holiday, so the park opened at 8 am and closed at 10 pm. It is recommended to queue up more than half an hour in advance, which makes it easier to enter the park. The staff politely ask you to check your bag, and food that can easily spill is not allowed inside. After successfully entering the park, we went straight to The Wizarding World of Harry Potter with our strategy planned in advance, and in less than half an hour, we enjoyed the Forbidden Journey and the Flight of the Hippogriff, feeling almost as if we had bought an express pass. Both attractions were very fun, offering a standard thrill but with a great experience, leaving a lasting impression. It's best for early arrivals to head straight for the popular attractions. Then, reserve a timed entry ticket for the Nintendo area on the official website usj, which we got for around 10 am. After buying a small magic wand in Harry Potter and leisurely casting spells for photos, we walked to the Super Mario area for more pictures. Honestly, if you don't have an express pass, you might want to skip the popular Mario Kart ride. We queued up but didn't want to give up, and ended up spending a full two hours on this attraction, with no end in sight to the line, and the experience was somewhat childish and not worth the wait. If possible, have lunch at the Three Broomsticks in Harry Potter; if it's too busy, at least try a Butterbeer and a meat pie, which are absolutely amazing. By noon, my cousin and nephew were exhausted, and I had to give up on the attractions I wanted to visit in the afternoon. We quickly visited the Minions and Doraemon before leaving the park to return to the hotel. Although it was a bit of a pity, it's normal to have regrets when traveling, and there will be other opportunities to visit Universal Studios parks elsewhere in the future.

#2024wish Coming into The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is one of items in my bucket list! Finally achieve this in this day 😍 Thought USJ is huge, but each and every area has its down distinctive design and atmosphere. I thought I was riding the magic broom all the way in here! 😝 We chosen one of the famous rides - Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and queue for close to 90minutes for the 5minutes ride. All I can say is you will never regret it! Tips: Do not enter into the queue right after any drink or butter beer as there is no emergency exit to washroom 🫣 Rating: ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ hundred thousands stars⭐️⭐️⭐️ In 2024, I wish to travel to Perth to meet the Kangaroos and Koalas🦘🐨!!!!!

RELIVE THE HARRY POTTER EXPERIENCES IN USJ

#wheretogo This is an one of a lifetime experiences to venture into the Wizarding World of Harry Potter exclusively only in Universal Studio Japan, Osaka. Harry Potter fans should visit this place when visiting Japan, it feels so magical and beautiful where the town built exactly like in the movie, selling wizard uniforms, wizards’ wands, owl plushies and even the flying brooms! The streets were filled with merchandise stores and there is even the legendary express train that brought Harry into the school. We ride on the two attractions that they got to offer, the griffin roller coaster and the forbidden journey ride. It was super fun and thrilling, we were love the forbidden journey ride though it took us 2 hours of queuing time on a weekday, but definitely worth it! We also tried the famous frozen butterbeer that only sold there, it’s really delicious and fizzy, it’s non-alcoholic so it’s also suitable for children.
