Truly an excellent theme park. Really love the Nintendo and Harry Potter areas especially, it feels like in another world. The staff really friendly and helpful. We bought the tickets in advance and reach there just in time when opening and already lot of people. Plenty of restaurant, food stall, and souvenir shop also available. What a great time. Highly recommended to visit ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Been to a few theme parks in the past, and was thinking I was getting too old for this stuff, how wrong could I be! It brought back memories of my past (or my best years as a teenager/ youth) what a delightful day it was, full of action and surprises * warning* be prepared to wait extremely long to get on some rides due to enormous crowds, the good thing is that like most of Japan, free standing vending drinks 🥤 machines are dotted everywhere within the park, so no worries about not getting enough fluids. My advice is get in early to avoid mass crowds after 10am, as park does open early to accommodate, must go if visiting Osaka
Universal Studios Japan in Osaka is an absolute blast! From the moment you step through the gates, you’re immersed in an incredible world of fun and excitement. The attractions are top-notch, with each one offering a unique and thrilling experience that’s sure to leave you smiling.
Whether you’re a fan of heart-pounding rides or more laid-back experiences, there’s something for everyone. The attention to detail in the park is truly impressive—everything is so well done, and the themes are brought to life in such a vivid way that you feel like you’ve stepped into another world.
The only downside is the wait times, which can be quite long, especially for the most popular attractions. But here’s my tip: invest in a VIP pass. It makes a huge difference, allowing you to skip the lines and make the most of your day without the frustration of waiting.
Overall, Universal Studios Japan is a must-visit if you’re in Osaka. Just be sure to plan ahead and grab that VIP pass for a smoother, more enjoyable experience.
I have to say that Disneyland is way better for me because I am not a big fan of extreme activities. However, some highlights of the park are the Harry Potter castle, which is gorgeous, and the station is amusing and entertaining; Mario World is excellent as well, but the wristband is 50 dollars, and we barely used it because it was too crowded, so it was not worth it. The minion's zone is fabulous as well. About the food is more expensive than in Disneyland and is not really good. Overall, the park is good, but very crowded thought; at some point the admin should think of the capacity of the park because we only enjoy a few attractions because it was very crowed, which suggests to buy another day or to buy a fast ticket which is very very expensive, they should think in every person experience rather than sell more and more.
A great amusement park to visit at Osaka. We bought ticket in advance and reach there just in time when opening and already lot of people. Recommend to get the fast pass if you would like to enjoy as much in one day. Plenty of great shows and fun rides to play and watch. Popular rides tend to queue for long time such as the flying dinosaur and hence have to plan properly. Plenty of restaurant and food stall available there too. Shops selling souvenirs also available. Their staff is polite and friendly as they smile all the time and greets you.
