An exciting theme park for people who are a fan of roller coasters . Better come early to get in line for those popular rides. You can also get the app to know the waiting time of the rides. That helps

Rajeev Chugani

Royal Pass is the best to purchase for visiting the park . Slightly expensive and only accessible through the Japanese website. Can get the tickets delivered to the hotel . All access, with Harry Potter

Trent Hope

Went during winter and was quite nice compared to hot Universal Orlando in Florida. Mixture between both FL parks . Relaxing. Worth it with new Potter World.

A Hazet

Nice theme park no wonder always packed with people, to avoid long queue you can buy EXPRESS PASS or come in working day, don’t missed the best part of the park , HARRY POTTER section #TravelingOsaka

Steve

Download the USJ app, jump on the free park wifi , and get the Area Timed Entry Tickets. The queues can get pretty crazy, so the express pass is also a good option.

Hong Chun

Amazing theme park with a lots of fun ride! Be sure to come early (or even before gate open) and take advantage of the single lane queue which save almost 3-4 times of normal lane.

Feras

One of the main touristic attractions in Japan. I would definitely pay it another visit. You'll need a couple of days to get enough of this place!

Puteri Farah

Gosh! Universal Studios Japan was awesome! However,hard time understanding things because everything the characters spoke in Japanese throughout the 4D ride for Terminator, Harry Potter, Spiderman etc

Eman

Went back here again just for Harry Potter's theme. It was amazing and wonderful but you need a special ticket for entering. The park 3D & 4D are a must.

J-OSL

It is a must visit place in Osaka, lots of exciting rides, but it always too crowed, took my time over an hour waiting for each rider. So, without express pass , only few I could play in a day visit.

Ebru Duman

Spider-man ride was very good. We really liked the Terminator and Dragon Ball 4d theaters . But, the best thing was definitely The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. The ride is worth the wait.

Adnan Alsadah

The park and rides are very good to spend a whole day. But without express pass you will wait long for queues. tickets can't be purchased online neither the express which is limited in number per day

Oreo

Go counter clock wise & visit on weekday. Directly go to Harry Potter area since it is the most popular & likely to have long queue. Bring some food & water, meals price inside is a little bit pricey

Shayne Zalameda

Attractions are great esp. Harry Potter, Spiderman , & Jurassic. One major thing though, I wish tourists were provided with an English audio guide coz not everyone understands Japanese.

Hadeel

I really enjoyed my time at this place! loved the variety of rides for adults. Also, check the crowd calendar before going there.

Aileen Tan

Must get express pass , if can better advance pre book online, sold out fast. If not definitely 3 hours queuing for sure. The Spider-Man ride is similar to the Singapore transformer ride but better.

Daniel Marder

Express pass is a must for Japenese Theme parks if you want to go on the rides. https://www.usj.co.jp/e/ticket/blt7.html#blt7 there's plenty to do and see at the part a great place to play for 2 days.

Yin Xinxin

Really love universal studio! Especially the Harry Potter Park . The only shortcoming is that the voiceover of all the event is Japanese.

Nawinda

Get an express pass for the attractions , or you will have to wait forever!

Ankit Garg

Best part is the harry potter ride . It gives the 3d effects on a roller coaster . Travel through the harry potter series in a span of few minutes with heart throbbing roller coaster

Steve Zhang

Visiting USJ in Osaka tips: watch the crowd. To overcome them, get into the park as early as 9am as there would be fewer people and you can enjoy the ride first

Gizem

Cons: too crowded defiantly buy pass tickets before hand because they get sold out fast. There is so much cons actually Pros: rides are were awesome as always it was worth all the cons

Lanie Soriano

Everything especially if you are a fan of Harry Potter, very enjoyable. I was also able to enjoy the Peanuts gang mini parade , brought memories of childhood days.

へンテイ

If you come here with limited time and on crowded (holi)days, please please do buy the express card so you enjoy more. Worth the price. It takes nearly 2 hours for me just to enter the entrance ????

Catch C

Great place for adults and kids. There's also a parade like 30 minutes before the park closes. Prepare your own jackets or be ready to buy the blankets there as it can get real cold.

Jack Smith

Pre-purchasing an Express Pass package can nicely schedule your whole days visit, mix that with Single Rider Queues in between, can really limit the amount of time queuing for attractions .

WS. ????

Minion Despicable Me, Hello Kitty Sanrio, Snoopy Peanuts , Jurrasic Park , Jaws, Harry Potter, Elmo, Nintendo Mario Bros.

Ken Yip

bear in mind that all the shows are in japanese, with little to no english support. if you want to get the fast pass, make sure to turn up very very early, five mins past, the passes were sold out

Ratoo Li

With a bit of patience and utilizing single rider line it's very possible to experience every thing in USJ, taking Harry Potter ride twice and have a great day.

Steve Zhang

The attention to detail and lush scenery brought the magical world of Harry Potter to life

Anj Rodriguez

10 hours of walking and roaming inside and the best part is the harry potter and the live movie of one piece! no regrets even if i have sored legs!

Ares, Jr.

It is a good experience for what it is in Japan. I would say the American theme parks are much better, more modern attractions and themes. If you don't know Japanese, you're going to have a struggle.

dil7li

You can still enjoy Terminator 2 3D here where others Universal Studios cancelled the show long time ago. It's in Japanese!

Dan Mondragón Somera

Ok so, Mario World and Harry Potter are obviously worth it BUT they definitely need to improve their endless lines . Not only for the rides (which is expected) but also for the food???

Steve Zhang

Spend a whole day, so you will be satisfied. Take a pic, taste the snack , enjoy the ride!

Thomas Ng

Xmas Song of Angel's light show @ 1745 + Magical Starlight Parade @ 1945 everyday until end of new year. Must see and standby the best position 30 mins before they start.

Elizabeth Lee

A must visit in Osaka. Harry potter, spiderman , Hollywood dream ride . The fun never ends. But get the express pass , less waiting time.

@Rabby-K☆★ Heawon

Compared to Tokyo Disneyland,feel like countryside scale. But good hospitality , very clean !! Even though we had a earthquake on an early saturday morning, lots of people came!!

Lu Naga

The infrastructure of Universal Studios Japan is not enough in the summer. Is really hot and you doesn't find air conditioner or ventilator inside or outside of all attractions .

Kevin Cummins

If you're not going on a weekday that is in the offseason, get there early and get the express pass . Trust me, it's worth it.

Edward G

Came here mid February and it was quite cool yet pleasant. Best time to go would be around 6 - 7pm as the big crowds seemed to leave and ride wait times were drastically reduced.

Kate Catling

Easy to spend day or two here. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter is amazing!

Sari Alkhudhayri

You can buy the express ticket online buy visiting their site buy you need to select JAP Language, as it isn't appear if you choose the english, you can translate by using Google chrome.

Raven Amos

Nice place to spend a whole day with family. People could have fun from 8 to 80 years old.

Julia Grando

I had so much fun, even without express pass . If you want to go wizarding world, go as soon as you enter the park schedule your entry.

Randall Ong

get the Express Pass .... it's kinda steep but you can ride almost all of the rides the whole day rather line up for 1-3 hours

Yarn Lam

Buy your tickets and express pass in advance to skip the queues! Fantastic theme park !

June Ang

Harry Potter themed park is a must visit in USJ! Buy the magical wand to enjoy exclusive interactive wand magic

Dominic Tam

Buy the express pass ! It's expensive but if you are only there for a day, the pass can get you through the rides you wanted.

PH

Must get Express Pass ! I entered at 9am and left at 8pm but I had only got to go to 3 attractions . Most of the time was spent in the queue.
