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.

I loved every minute of it! It was not very crowded, not very hot, for the food we didn't have to wait at all. Ok, it was Monday. I loved the attractions, the mood... everything.

Excellent visit to universal Osaka. Only negative is you either need two days to see the park unless you buy express pass. The negative is the express passes are almost twice the price on average of park admission.

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.

Head out was quick and easy-I had no problems with my fast pass for Universal. I do prefer Disneyland over Universal as there are not as many rides but Harry Potter and Mario were great fun.
