Universal Studio Japan

It's a buy-one-get-one-free deal, and you can use the QR code to pass through each time. It's especially cost-effective for transportation at tourist attractions, costing 2,000-3,000 yen each time for free.

I recommend buying tickets, as you don't need to queue, but they are all for the afternoon session.

After receiving your tickets, everyone needs to download the Universal app to register for a QR code to enter the gate. My kids absolutely loved it, and although the queue was long, it's still an unforgettable experience for me. Remember to try the butterbeer, everyone!

The fastest way to get from Kansai Airport to Kyoto Station is to choose between unreserved or reserved seats, which is very flexible. Using your mobile phone QR code to enter and exit the gate is very convenient. You don't have to be as flustered as before, pushing your luggage while holding a physical card, and you don't have to worry about the embarrassment of accidentally stuffing your physical card into the bag and then not being able to find it!

Buy one get one free Deluxe Kansai Enjoy Pass. I redeemed the pass for three takoyaki sets. In Zone A, I redeemed Universal Studios tickets and a Super Star popcorn cone. In Zone B, I redeemed photos of the park attractions. In Zone C, I redeemed an INNN airport pickup.

This trip to Universal Studios Japan (USJ) with my family was an experience that can only be described as "breathtaking and incredibly fun!" As someone who has visited theme parks in many countries, I can attest that USJ is absolutely top-notch in terms of scene detail and immersive experience. Especially when we entered "Super Nintendo World," the scene perfectly recreated our childhood memories: vibrant green pipes, moving question mark blocks, turtle shells, and the awe-inspiring Bomber King. Combined with interactive tapping games using energy bracelets, both adults and children had a blast, feeling as if they had truly stepped into the video game world. I highly recommend that anyone traveling with family purchase the "Express Pass." Besides guaranteeing smooth entry to the super popular Mario area, it also saves you from the 90 to 120 minutes of queuing time for popular attractions. With limited energy, the Express Pass allowed the whole family to relax at a much more leisurely pace, without wasting time in crowds, significantly enhancing the quality of our trip. The park staff's warm interaction, the exquisite themed food, and the joyful atmosphere all added a lot to this trip. Buying tickets and using the fast-track system in advance, the on-site QR code entry process was smooth and seamless. It was a dream trip that left the whole family with wonderful memories. A truly five-star recommendation!

Because I couldn't get the eSIM working, thankfully there was free Wi-Fi on the bus; there was dedicated service for loading and unloading luggage, and they carefully checked the tickets when collecting the luggage. If you are staying near the bus stop, I highly recommend this option.

I went with my family. I found out that everyone except me has a fear of heights.
