Because it was during Silver Week, even though we arrived at 10am, we were directed to a temporary parking lot. However, it was only a 10-minute walk from the temporary parking lot, so it was fine. Since we had purchased electronic tickets, entry was smooth. There were many different kinds of animals, and it was very impressive.
After activating the card, you can enter the subway and many attractions for free, making it suitable for foreign tourists who have a two-day independent trip in Osaka.
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!
There's a store in Hokkaido located in the international arrivals area for convenient pick-up and drop-off. Signal strength and speed are good in urban areas, but relatively poor in suburban areas.
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!
