The driver was very responsible. Since there were many of us, and some needed to take the tram, he used an ingenious method to help load all the luggage onto the tram, making it easy for everyone to carry their own. He drove smoothly and safely to the airport for my family. We are very grateful. We will definitely book again next time.
I'm not sure if it was because of the rain, but besides the chairlifts being closed and the only option being the cable car to Amanohashidate, many shops were also closed, and the sea looked greyish, though the water was still quite clear up close. If you want to take beautiful photos, you should consider the weather. Our guide, Xiao Xie, looked young but was very experienced and provided explanations of the sights.
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!
The entire trip is leisurely yet offers a touch of excitement, allowing you to experience the beauty of nature. Please note that the trip takes approximately two hours, so there are no restrooms available.
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!
Recommended for those who want to speed through the challenges. While the guide doesn't speak Chinese, basic English communication is sufficient. There's a private lounge and restaurant, so you don't have to queue or worry about finding a cool place to rest on a hot day. Each challenge can be started within 3 minutes by simply going in reverse. Ask about souvenirs and snacks; the guide will help you plan or purchase them. It's a rare opportunity to buy VIP so you can have an efficient and enjoyable experience!
