What to Expect in Universal Studios Japan

When it comes to theme parks in Japan, two places come to mind: Tokyo Disneyland and the ever-popular Universal Studios Japan (USJ). The former offers a classic wholesome family experience, while the latter, based in Osaka, is known for the thrilling ride attractions and experiences that are suitable for all types of travelers. Let’s get to know USJ a little bit more below:

Introducing the 10 Worlds at Universal Studios Japan

Universal Studios Japan is divided into 10 themed areas or “worlds”. These include:

• Super Nintendo World. Immerse yourself in the world of Super Mario and friends!
• The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™. Based on the blockbuster Harry Potter films, this USJ attraction is a must-visit for wizards, witches, and muggles alike! Here you’ll get to enter the Hogwarts Castle, explore the Hogsmeade Village, and even wave hi to the Hogwarts™ Express conductor! (To save time queuing in the magical rides, get the Variety Ride option of the Express Pass 4 along with a Universal Studios Japan ticket.)
• Minion Park. Join the adorable Minions in this fun mayhem-themed zone filled with shops where you can find your Universal Studio Japan souvenir.
• Universal Wonderland. This expansive world in Universal Studios Japan is where visiting families get to have all-out fun! Let the kids and kids-at-heart encounter Elmo, Snoopy, Hello Kitty, and other cute characters.
• Jurassic Park. Possibly the wildest themed world in Universal Studios Japan, here you’ll get to encounter reptilian beasts inspired by the famous movie franchise.
• Amity Village. Forget the ghosts — here you’ll spot the real monster of JAWS! Dare to take the exciting boat ride with your friends and significant other.
• Hollywood. Walk down this glitzy USJ world filled with the most attractions and shops!
• New York. A reproduction of the 1930’s NYC, this themed world alone makes your purchase of the USJ Studio Pass worth it! Get lost in the back alleys inspired by your favorite films and eat at Park Side Grille, one of the best restaurants in Universal Studios Japan.
• San Francisco. Feel as if you’re transported to the American port city when you chill in this themed zone by the USJ lagoon.
• WaterWorld. Be wowed as soon as you enter this 3,000-seater arena where the must-see stunt show in Universal Studios Japan takes place!

While you’re guaranteed to get a memorable experience even with a 1-day Studio Pass, we definitely recommend getting a 1.5 or 2-day Universal Studios Japan ticket if you can — there’s just so much to explore in the park. Compare the prices of all 3 Universal Studios Japan tickets here.

Fast-track access with the Express Pass

As the world’s 3rd most popular theme park (here’s the #1), you can expect quite a bit of waiting time while queuing for the rides in USJ. For this reason, you’ll be smart to add a Universal Studios Japan Express Pass 4 or Universal Studios Japan Express Pass 7 to your purchase of a USJ ticket. With any of the two Universal Express passes, you can reduce the waiting time significantly to some of the most popular rides in Universal Studios Japan.

Early entry to USJ — like a VIP!

Another way you can get a headstart in the queues or even take photos at Universal Studios Japan without a sea of people in the background is by getting this Universal Studios Japan ticket with Early Entry. This ticket type lets you enter the park 15 minutes before everyone else. Find more details here.

“Get this to secure a guaranteed entrance to the hotspots of USJ. Unless you are willing to take the risk and go there super early before the opening to get the area-timed tickets, then this is the next best thing, albeit at an extra cost, of course. USJ is always packed, especially so during the weekends and holidays. Once you get this, you need not come super early as this was the case for me. I came at around 10+ am and went straight to the entry. Minimal queueing, in my case, no one was in my queue line. Fast in.”
