Visiting Universal Studios Japan was honestly one of the highlights of my trip to Osaka. The park itself is absolutely magical — the details, the atmosphere, the music, the food, and the different worlds make you feel like you’re inside a movie. Super Nintendo World was unreal. It truly feels like stepping into a video game. The Harry Potter area was beautiful and emotional, and the rides were very immersive. Everything was clean, organized, and extremely well designed. I bought my ticket through Headout. The booking process was easy and I received my QR code quickly, which made entering the park simple. I didn’t have any issues with my ticket, but I would still recommend checking everything carefully before your visit, just to avoid stress. One important thing to know is that lines can be very long, especially for popular attractions. If you can afford an Express Pass, it really makes a big difference and saves a lot of time. Overall, Universal Studios Japan is 100% worth it. It’s not just an amusement park — it’s an experience. I left tired, happy, and with so many beautiful memories. I would definitely go again.

I couldn't wait to visit the Studios, I certainly didn't imagine I would be going to Japan! A very beautiful place, with very kind staff who are very attentive to the rules. The attractions are beautiful, especially the Flying Dinosaur and Hogwarts Castle. American Graffiti, Amity Village, and last but not least, the pavilion dedicated to Peanuts. A real joy for those like me who grew up with Snoopy and company.

Excellent pass that made a very busy, full on day much easier to navigate and much more pleasant. Every line we saw was minimum one hour. Being able to save that time that would have been wasted simply waiting made the day really fun. It's expensive, but if you're only planning on coming here once, it's absolutely worth it.

Hassle free experience, fast confirmation and able to preload tickets without need of staying online or in app. The selected rides in the package are easily the few best rides available in USJ, so that made the experience sweeter.

There was a long queue for purchasing the tickets on the spot the day I went, so purchasing an e-ticket on Headout made it so much efficient since there was a separate line for tickets bought online. There was literally no one queuing for the line!

The architecture is beautiful, the story of the castle's owner well told with a lot of typically Japanese detail and whimsy, with a 360-degree view of the park on the top floor and everything very well organized! A must-see in Osaka!
