    Fun theme park for adults

    When my fiancé and visited Japan we went to both Universal Studios and Disneyland in Japan. However we found Universal Studios more relatable for adults. Definitely a must try!

    Harry Potter world & ride was AMAZING!

    Went on a weekday which was still busy but not prohibitively so.  I'll list the rides we went on & give you my & my friends joint opinion of them. Note: the majority of the rides/ attractions are in Japanese (this is Japan of course!)...More

    An amazing experience

    An amazing place we got there at 8am half an hour before opening time and the crowd was already quite big waiting to enter. We stayed until around 9.30pm, 32000 steps and 14 hour day.. exhausting but an experience like no other. We went in...More

    Guaranteed fun!

    We came here the day before a Typhoon in September and expected huge crowds. It was busy but manageable especially when you take advantage of the single rider lines. The Hollywood Dream was such a fun ride and on single rider we never waited more...More

    So busy it's not worth it

    Was the busiest theme park I ever went to and we went on a rainy Wednesday morning. 2-3hr queues for rides. Spend £120+ per person on express tickets or don't bother going. Nightmare!

    AMAZING

    I could go on about how much I enjoyed my visit but would end up writing an essay. If you're in Osaka, go to Universal Studios. You won't regret it. The Wizarding World is especially impressive.

    Great Fun

    I think it Marks more fun than DW. Some attractions are limited for larger kids (> 125 cm), so disappointments my occur with smaller kids. Still a good funny day for kids after a lot of sight seeing. Would Go there again.

    We had a great time was really annoyed about no reentry

    Best wait times at most parks are at opening and closing. We got there early at 8am and waited for the gates to open to try to get reasonable wait times and got most of the important rides done before it peaks at around 10:30,...More

    If you go to the USJ website you can click english and get all your info there. Also the hotels around the area also sell tickets with a much shorter line if you are a guest there.
