My trip to Universal Studios Japan went so smoothly. I loved town. The tickets already came with fast passes to some of the rides. It was very easy. Very convenient with 100%. Get my tickets from here again overall and made my trip there super super easy no complaints whatsoever. I got on all the rights that I wanted to go on.

The smoothest theme park day I've ever had! The tickets were able to be accessed easily via my email. Everyone in the park made my day extra special! I felt like royalty in every way possible! 100000/10 would do again! Thanks Headout!

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.

It was a rainy day, so there were already fewer people compared to normal, but it allowed me to do the rides with a maximum wait time of 2 minutes. I highly recommend it—it saves an insane amount of time!!!

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.

It was an unforgettable experience. We were in Osaka on vacation and decided to go to Universal Studios. We bought our tickets the day before, and everything went perfectly. Thanks for everything. Highly recommended.

Getting started

Enter Universal Studios Japan using your 1-Day Studio Pass QR code. Once inside, keep your separate Express Pass QR ready and scan it at the designated entrance of Mario Kart: Koopa's Challenge™ and other eligible attractions. 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 Mario Kart and other selected rides.

Start with Mario Kart: Koopa's Challenge™, 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, 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.

Explore the themed area and use any included Express entitlements covered by your selected configuration.

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.
