🗓️Itinerary: 1️⃣You need to purchase tickets and fast pass tickets on the official Japanese website. Only with fast pass can you choose the time to play designated facilities. 2️⃣ Remember to check the opening hours on the official website. They usually open 1 hour earlier, so remember to arrive earlier than the official opening time! 3️⃣ As soon as I entered the park, I ran to the Minions Park to play the rides that did not have fast passes. There was no one queuing at all. After you finish playing, you can enter the Mario Park, and you can play one more facility. 4️⃣ If you want to enter the Mario Park at night, remember to check the time when you can redeem the group ticket on the App one to two hours after the opening. 5️⃣If you want to eat at Mario’s restaurant, remember to queue up after entering the park. We queued for nearly an hour that day. The following is our schedule for the day's quick customs clearance Mario 10:10 Harry Potter 14:10 Spider-Man 17:20 Flying Pterosaur No time limit #osaka #osakaattractions #osakauniversalstudios #Januaryplaces2025

My day at Japan’s Universal Studios in Kansai was a whirlwind of excitement and fun, especially with the One Piece show. Even though I couldn’t understand Japanese, the energy was infectious. The actors brought the characters to life with such enthusiasm, and the special effects made me feel part of the Straw Hat crew. Then, I headed to Mario Land, a true gamer’s paradise. I got to experience the immersive environment of the Mushroom Kingdom—jumping blocks, meeting characters, and even “powering up” along the way. Every corner was packed with nostalgic details and interactive surprises, which brought back my childhood memories of playing Mario. Finally, Harry Potter’s Castle was nothing short of magical. Walking through the dark, enchanted corridors of Hogwarts was like stepping into a storybook. From Hogsmeade to the Forbidden Forest, each detail was mesmerizing, capturing the world of wizards in all its glory. And having the Fast Pass for all rides made the experience so much smoother—no waiting in lines, just pure enjoyment! The blend of popular franchises and the ease of skipping queues made this a day I’ll never forget.

#asiatrip My trip to Universal Studios Japan (USJ) in Osaka was non-stop fun and thrills! First stop: Minion Park! It was like jumping straight into the movie, with giant Minions everywhere and crazy rides. I laughed so much, especially on the Minion Mayhem ride! Next, I ventured into Jurassic Park. The roaring dinosaurs and jungle vibes were awesome! The highlight was the Jurassic Park ride—I got soaked on the drop, but it was totally worth it for the thrill! Before leaving, I shopped for souvenirs. I picked up cute Minion goodies and cool dino-themed merch to remember the day. USJ was a wild adventure, packed with fun, laughter, and memories to last forever! #travel #thingstodo #osaka #japan #usjosaka #themepark #universalstudiojapan

Exclusive to 2024, Universal Studios Japan in Osaka This time, I bought tickets plus 7 fast passes. Staying at a hotel within the Universal Studios area. As soon as we entered the park, we rushed to the Demon Slayer attraction. Then we went to the Minions, Hollywood Dream, two Mario attractions, two Harry Potter attractions, and various other thrilling rides without having to wait in line. It was so much fun! 😍 In the evening, zombies invaded the park. Besides the horror, there were also Ado's songs, and everyone was super excited and had a great time. The Halloween-exclusive Universal Studios Japan is amazing!!

Universal Studios Japan has a total of 10 parks, namely Hollywood, New York, San Francisco, Jurassic Park, Small Town Friendship Village, Universal Wonderland, Water World, Minion Park, The Wizarding World of Harry PotterTM, Super Nintendo WorldTM and works unique to Japan. Compared with the Universal Studios Beijing that many people have been to, the location of Universal Studios Japan is not in Osaka, but it is still very fast to take a tram from major stations such as Shinsaibashi and Namba. Like us, we live in Kitahama, and it takes about 30 minutes to arrive. Therefore, if you only buy a 1-day ticket, there is no need to live near Universal Studios. The time we chose was a non-holiday peak period, so we basically played all the projects we wanted to play in 1 day. Universal Studios Japan and Universal Studios Beijing have a high degree of repetition, so I just pick some not so- -like to talk about. The first is definitely Super Nintendo WorldTM. If you are a tourist who has not bought EP and guarantee tickets like us, it is recommended to arrive at the entrance of the studio before the opening time. The actual opening time will be 1-1.5h earlier than the official announcement. As soon as the park opens, immediately sprint to the Super Nintendo WorldTM park. If you catch up with the first batch, you don't need to draw tickets. At the same time, you can check the App on the way. If you have already prompted to draw tickets, please don't ignore it. It is the most secure to leave a guarantee for yourself. Of course, if your primary goal is to ride a project like the Eagle Horse Flight or the Hollywood Dream Ride, which will take a long time to queue up later, you can also draw a ticket for Mario here on the way there. Then about the interactive wristband, our suggestion is to rent but not buy. . Up to 45 yuan, you can rent for 15 days if you choose to mail, and you can send it back after returning to China. After having the interactive wristband, the whole game participation is really super high, almost restoring the scene in the game. If you want to take pictures at other locations, I suggest here that you might consider coming again in the afternoon? The weather is good and the scenery is invincible and beautiful, but it is really not easy to take pictures of people in the dazzling sunlight. The second is the Japan-limited Demon Slayer in the Hollywood Park. The main amusement facilities are "Demon Slayer XR Ride" and "Demon Slayer Pillar Training x Hollywood Dream Ride". The queuing time is definitely the TOP level of the entire studio, but I have to admit it is really fun. The XR ride is a VR roller coaster in other words, without rolling, occasionally a few sprints and sharp turns, with a strong sense of substitution. The Dream Ride is one of the most exciting roller coasters. It is a linkage version of the Hollywood Park and the Demon Slayer IP. There will be voices in the anime when the car is launched. It is a must-play for partners who are not afraid. There is also Detective Conan in Hollywood. We only experienced one facility, "Detective Conan 4D Live Performance Show Star Gem", which I personally think is also a suitable place for rest and summer heat. In general, I think USJ is suitable for the off-season. The flow of people on the day we went was not large. After 3 pm in the afternoon, the Super Nintendo WorldTM park no longer needed to organize tickets, and the queuing time for other popular projects was basically within 50 minutes. There were almost no people in the EP channel, and the experience was really much better than during the holidays. d.
