Full Description
Universal Studios Japan in Osaka
Universal Studios Japan opened in Osaka in 2001 and has grown into one of the most visited theme parks in Asia. It sits on the bay in the Konohana district, and its areas include Hollywood, New York, San Francisco, Amity Village, Jurassic Park, Minion Park and Universal Wonderland for younger children.
If you are asking whether Universal Studios Japan is worth visiting, the answer is yes for anyone who loves films, rides and characters. Most visitors need a full day for the main attractions, and a second day is helpful if you want a slower pace, shows and repeat rides.
Super Nintendo World and Donkey Kong Country
Super Nintendo World brings the Mario games to life with rides, interactive challenges and a Power-Up Band you use to collect coins. The newer Donkey Kong Country area adds a wild jungle setting and a mine-cart style ride.
Entry to these areas is popular and is controlled by capacity, so it is not guaranteed by an ordinary ticket. You may need a timed-entry ticket from the official park app on the day, which is free, so download the app in advance and try to reserve early in the morning.
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter, Minion Park and Jurassic Park
The Wizarding World of Harry Potter recreates Hogsmeade village and Hogwarts castle, with a flight ride above the castle and shops selling wands and sweets. Minion Park is bright and playful, and Jurassic Park has a flying ride and a splashy water ride.
The park also runs parades and street shows, and it has special seasonal celebrations, so check the schedule on the day. The best time to visit Universal Studios Japan is on a weekday outside school holidays, arriving before opening time. Allow time for the shops, the castle views and a break between rides.
Your ticket, the Express Pass and planning the day
After you book, the official e-ticket with a QR code is emailed to you at least twenty-four hours before your visit, and it is this QR code that you show at the gate. Your booking confirmation on its own is not an entry ticket, so please check your email in advance. Re-entry is not permitted once you leave the park.
Many visitors ask how to get to Universal Studios Japan: take the JR Yumesaki Line to Universal City Station, about fifteen minutes from Osaka Station via Nishikujo. The Universal Express Pass is not included with this ticket, and waits for popular rides can be long, so plan the busiest attractions early.
