Universal Studios Japan, Osaka

Simply a blast to be here! Came on a Monday expecting thinner crowd but it was still full. Buy tickets in advance and don’t make the mistake we made and buy it when we arrived. Waiting in line is a common theme here but you can minimize it if you plan accordingly. Once you are inside the park, it makes sense why it’s so popular. Great presentation of different fun characters that you’ve come to love. For food, there is so many options to choose from. For rides, you need at least couple days to appreciate all of it. Everything is pricey even the food. Either way, that is all parks like this. Highly recommended and a must visit.

It’s always a 5 stars experience going to a Universal Studios theme park! Osaka version is probably one of the best in the world, with the new addition of Nintendo World it really gives you so many options throughout the whole park! We had a great time visiting both the Harry Potter castle and Nintendo World, and I strongly recommend the food at Harry Potter cafe as it is really yummy and it makes you feel like you are transported into the books. If budget permits, do get the express passes it will free up more of your time to enjoy the other section of the parks since there tends to be longer queue at top attractions. They also do have tax refund near the entrance so you do get some of your money back if you are buying any of the merchandise. Overall an amazing experience, and I think if time is on your end. Make this a 2 day visit to really enjoy the whole park.
