  Universal Studios Japan (approx. 10 hours)

  Universal Studios Japan (USJ), Osaka’s largest theme park, brings to life beloved stories from both Japanese and international works. Under the slogan "LOVE HAS NO LIMIT," it aims to deliver boundless excitement and energy to visitors from all walks of life.
  The park is a massive entertainment complex featuring manga, anime, movies, and video games, drawing crowds from across Kansai, Japan, and the world—thanks in part to its collaborations with Japanese anime culture.
  USJ continues to evolve with seasonal events and new attractions being added regularly. Rather than listing areas, here are some key tips for enjoying the park:

• ①

  Tickets

  There are many ticket types, including 1-day passes, annual passes, and express passes for priority access. Buying tickets at the entrance may involve long lines, so purchasing online in advance is highly recommended.

  

• ②

  Check the Opening Hours

  Opening times vary depending on weekdays, weekends, and special events like Halloween, Christmas, or New Year’s Eve. Sometimes the park opens earlier than usual, especially when popular attractions are available, so arriving ahead of official hours is a good idea.

  

• ③

  Souvenirs & Goods

  Shopping is just as exciting as the rides and shows. To avoid crowds and sold-out items, shop in the morning. You can use the park’s delivery service to send items to your home, but note this is only available until 1:00 PM. Coin lockers are another convenient option if you have fewer purchases.

  

• ④

  Lunch Time

  Although there are many restaurants inside the park, lunchtime can be crowded. Use the priority restaurant reservation system to ensure a smooth dining experience. Reservations are accepted up to one month in advance. If you're unable to book, try enjoying various themed snacks and foods from stalls throughout the park.

• ⑤

  Area Entry Tickets

  Some areas may require a timed-entry ticket due to crowd control. Check in advance and, if necessary, get your ticket immediately upon entering the park.

• By following these five tips, you’re sure to have an amazing time at USJ! To keep the fun going, consider staying at a partner hotel nearby. If you already have plans to return somewhere, we can help with transportation—just let us know!
