Couldn't get the express pass we wanted when planning trip to Osaka, thought we'd just skip Universal. But couple days prior looked to see any additional released and were so grateful to find just what we wanted on Headout! Excellent day, better because didn't have to worry about lines for busiest rides. First time using Headout, tickets and passes delivered promptly and worked perfectly!

It was so great to skip lines, we would not have managed in 37 degree heat any other way. The parent switch and express passes meant we got to see a lot more of the park than we would have otherwise. Harry Potter forbidden ride was a favourite and the minions mayhem.

It was easy to buy, although some of the instructions weren't clear, but in practice they were easier than I thought. Everything worked well and all we had to do was present the qr code they sent us. Reliable and everything went well. The park was crowded but well organized, clean and beautiful.

    It's a very good experience. It was too short for too much experiences to enjoy! The flight of dinosaur was the hardest but unfortunately only 1 time to enjoy.

    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!

    Headout was amazing, and easy to use. Would highly recommend. I definitely recommend getting the Timed entry and express pass package as well without this package we would have been stuck in ridiculously long lines.
