A trip to Universal Studios Japan is definitely worth the money; you should plan on spending a whole day there, and if you can afford it, be sure to buy Express Passes to cut down on wait times. I'd go back in a heartbeat—it's a once-in-a-lifetime experience.

We went to Universal Studios Japan and we loved our experience, just a bit confused by the fact that we paid for a ticket with a pass for Super Nintendo World included, even though we were able to enter without scanning anything.

The park was great. It was full, but I was still able to get on every ride multiple times. It had some of the most exciting rides I've been on, especially the Flying Dinosaur ride. Would absolutely recommend.

Definitely a must buy, saved us a lot of time average wait time was 120 hours if you didn't have the express pass. If you want a true good Universal Experience definitely buy it.
