What other travelers are saying about Universal Studios Japan

We had such a great time visiting Universal Studios! We bought our tickets from the official Universal website, but since we had read that it would be very busy especially for the rides and Nintendo World we decided to purchase the Fast Pass through Klook, which turned out to be the best decision! It allowed us to enjoy our day much more and make the most of our time. As for Nintendo World, we didn’t enjoy it as much as we expected because it was extremely crowded everywhere. It was impossible to enter without a reservation, so we had to wait until our Fast Pass time slot to get in. Overall, the experience was fun and memorable, but for better time management, I highly recommend getting the Fast Pass. Even though it’s a bit pricey, it truly helps you make the most of your visit and enjoy your day much more.

Very cool theme park. There was a long line to get in. Got there at 740am and got in about an hour later. It was a public holiday so this was expected. The express pass was great for Harry Potter fordibben city. I wish we got express pass for Mario cart and flying dinosaur but we waited instead. About 1 hour each. Worth it! I would definitely come back again. Harry Potter world was so fun. I felt like a kid again with my wand and doing all the spells around the area.

Great park, all the areas are define yet they work together. They have an Area Entrance tocket for the Nintendo part, which works if you are aware of it to manage the crowds. Most of the staff acted friendly, polite and excited. Prices are reasonable, a lot of souvenir stores and restaurant options. As expected, there are lines everywhere, the time at the entrances are pretty accurate. The solo rider line did not work for me, people on the regular line would get in faster. If visiting on a weekend buy the Express Line for any attractions you really want to visit so not too long on the waiting lines. There are lockers everywhere and water fountains.

USJ brings childhood dreams to life. It was packed with tourists and locals, but I made so many fun memories with my cousin. Riding the roller coasters gave me an adrenaline rush, and all the food inside was delicious, though a bit pricey 😄. The most memorable part for me was Harry Potter. It's so amazing it's hard to put into words, so you really have to experience it yourself. The butterbeer was delicious, the short play was fantastic, and the actors gave their all. If you want to buy an interactive wand, you need to get it early. These wands come with a map showing specific spots throughout the area where you can cast spells. USJ is absolutely a place you should visit.

Had the most amazing time, all the staff were friendly and helpful. Great choice of food selection and pretty reasonable price considering where you are, the park was clean, tidy and use to get around. Great rides, we were lucky all were working and didn't have to wait to long for each. (Ride single person, if you don't mind setting next to a stranger) Depends speeds the ride time up. All around great time and would definitely be back.
