Great theme park. The different areas and themes are a cool touch. Enjoyed the Jurassic park area and rides. America themed avenues and boulevards are cool too. It's a great day out and I enjoyed it even more than I thought I would. Ended up buying merchandise which is hard to resist ultimately with the amount of shops to buy in there. Super Nintendo world is a must whilst in Japan and at this park.

All the rides were fun, as usual big 60 min Lines but what can you do. Food and drinks were abundant as you need then to break up the line waits. Live shows were kid and adult friendly. All in all a great day in extreme temps. Staff were fantastic and approachable.

This park is incredible, but it's incredibly busy, which is why I took out the "coupe-file" tickets, which allowed us to do 7 attractions without waiting, as opposed to waiting hours without them. You'll also need to bring something to protect you from the sun in summer when you're moving between attractions or worlds, as it's very, very hot and the sun is very strong if the weather is clear. The attractions are really excellent, especially the rollerscusters which are really great (Hollywood dreams, mine cartmadness ...). The only uninteresting family attraction (according to us and my 7-year-old son) is Yoshi World. In short, a huge park, very well designed, with very friendly, smiling and highly motivated staff, and breathtaking attractions and worlds, but you absolutely must have a ticket to really enjoy them!

Our family visit to Universal Studios Japan was nothing short of spectacular. As a group of five, including a young child and teens, we were looking for a theme park that could delight every age—and Universal delivered beyond our expectations. We purchased our tickets in advance via the Headout app, which made the process easy and reliable. Everything went smoothly at the entrance, and we highly recommend this method for anyone planning a visit. From the moment we entered, the atmosphere was vibrant, clean, and extremely well-organized. The themed areas were immersive and full of surprises. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter was a dream come true for our daughters, while the Super Nintendo World left us in awe with its attention to detail and interactive features. Even our 7-year-old had an amazing time, especially in Minion Park and on family-friendly rides. What impressed us most was the level of hospitality from the staff—always kind, helpful, and efficient even when the park was busy. We used the Express Pass, which made our experience smooth and stress-free, minimizing wait times and allowing us to enjoy more attractions. We also appreciated the range of dining options available, including both themed restaurants and more casual eateries with Japanese and Western food. Everything was clean, clearly marked, and surprisingly well-priced for a theme park. This was definitely a highlight of our family trip to Japan. Universal Studios Japan is not just for kids—it's a place where everyone, young and old, can feel like a child again. Tip: Get there early and plan your Express Pass slots in advance to maximize your visit. Don’t miss the night show if available!

Universal Studio was a hit for the kids. Obviously overcrowded and overpriced like every amusement Park in the world... Queues for rides: very long but if you ride as "single" instead of a group you save a lot of time. Queues for the food: way way too long! We basically did not eat for the entire day because we did not want to waste 1 hour in a queue for a questionable hot dog. (We bought overpriced cookies from one of the hundreds of stores, instead). Super Nintento World: A M A Z I N G!!!! Although obviously a rip-off I recommend to buy the bracelet, you can earn coin and power ups and access extra rides. It was a blast.
