A Dream Come True!Visiting Universal Studios Japan was an absolute fairytale from the moment we walked through the gates. Stepping straight into the vibrant, living blocks of Super Nintendo World felt like jumping into a childhood video game, and sipping warm Butterbeer in the breathtaking Wizarding World of Harry Potter completely stole our hearts. The energy, the incredible attention to detail in every single zone, and the joyful atmosphere made it a truly fantastic day we will never forget!

Definitely worth it! Very easy to receive your digital tickets and QR codes for the express passes. With limited time and very long lines, having some express passes definitely helps in cutting down that time you wait in line all day and allows you to get some more rides/shows in throughout the day!

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.

We really liked the place and the service, the staff are very friendly, and it's also very well maintained. The booking was perfect, except the pass says 'backdrop' and doesn't mention that it's only one of the two options.

My 2 kids (17 + 15) and I spent a whole day at Universal Studios Osaka using the Headout day pass with fast pass options. It was a really great day and the rides were fantastic and the fast pass so easy and saved a huge amount of time. It was everything you wanted it to be and so much fun. Flying Dinosaur and Hollywood Dream were our favourite rides. I would recommend this to everyone.

Getting started

Enter Universal Studios Japan using your 1-Day Studio Pass QR code.

Your Express Pass ride timings are allocated by the park, so check your voucher for the timings assigned to you.

What to expect

Universal Studios Japan

Your 1-Day Studio Pass gives you entry to Universal Studios Japan for the day, with access to the park's attractions. Your Express Pass adds priority access to Hollywood Dream and other selected rides.

Start with Hollywood Dream - The Ride, the hero attraction for this product, and use your Express Pass at its designated entrance.

Use Express access at attractions such as Mine Cart Madness, Mario Kart: Koopa's Challenge™, Flight of the Hippogriff™, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™, and Yoshi's Adventure, as per option selected.

Depending on your selected configuration, use Express access at Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem or The Flying Dinosaur, and Jurassic Park - The Ride™ or JAWS.

Super Nintendo World™

Your selected Express Pass configuration also includes timed entry to Super Nintendo World™, allowing you to visit the area during your allocated time.

Check your voucher for the Super Nintendo World™ entry timing assigned by the park.

If Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™ is included in your Express Pass, you can use its Express Pass lane anytime during park hours because The Wizarding World of Harry Potter™ no longer requires timed entry.
