The night of 12/31 was the best, the lines for the attractions and food outlets were shorter than usual! The fireworks and music were great! However, for January 1st the lines for the attractions and food outlets were endless, so I decided to only participate in the No Limit Parade, which was very fun and cheerful.

What can i say about it ? Universal Studio Japan is very special from the others parks that i visited. The reason is clear every time it is renewed. It has a special atmosphere that you cannot find anywhere else in the world, such as magic and imagination, quality food, cleanliness, arrangement, and the utmost splendor. I enjoyed my time there very much. For me Mario World was like being in the game and most ... Exclusively there are games specific to Universal Studio Japan like Jujutsu Kaisen, Biohazard, Seed of chucky Halloween it outstanding. You need to go and experience it by yourself there only in Japan In the end, the description is indescribable.. I can't explain how happy I am about the place.. I hope that everyone have a chance to visit and live the experience of Japan Universal Studio...

Love what you offer! Really a wonderful experience but sadly the queues are soooo long, it means so much of your day is spent in line, you don't get to experience everything. Hard for those without express tickets. And for those of us from overseas, we won't get to see all there is on offer.

Loved the Harry Potter ride. And the despicable me ride. The water world show was the most enjoyable thing I did that day. Would definitely recommend the express pass if you are short on time.
