About Universal Studios Japan

Universal Studios Japan is one of Asia’s most popular theme parks. Harry Potter fans can walk through Hogsmeade village to Hogwarts castle, Super Nintendo World brings Mario Kart to life, and Universal Wonderland has gentle rides with Snoopy, Hello Kitty and Sesame Street characters for younger children. Seasonal events, from Halloween to Christmas, add special shows through the year.

Queues for the headline rides can be long, especially at weekends and in school holidays, so Express Passes and timed entry to Super Nintendo World are worth arranging ahead. We sort out your tickets before you travel.

Arrive before opening and head straight for the most popular area. Vegetarian choices inside the park are limited, so carry snacks or plan a meal outside.
