The Universal Studios Japan (USJ) Express Pass is a paid add-on that lets you skip the regular lines for the best rides.<\/p>\n

But here’s the catch: it doesn’t include your actual park ticket. You still need to buy a standard Studio Pass to get inside USJ.<\/p>\n

With the massive new Donkey Kong Country now open, this pass is a must-have for families and first-timers.<\/p>\n

The free timed entry tickets for Super Nintendo World are app-only now, and they usually run out just minutes after the gates open.<\/p>\n

Buying an Express Pass is the only guaranteed way to lock in your Nintendo access. But heads up, not all Express Passes actually get you into the Nintendo or Donkey Kong areas.<\/p>\n

This KKday guide breaks down your 2026 options, so you buy exactly what you need without wasting money.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
