We wanted to visit Osaka-castle since the beginning of our trip. However we didn't have time to think of buying tickets ahead and we undervalued the queue at the entrance. We were than reluctantly , decided to queue up at the ticket lane which was quite long and demotivating. Moreover, it was quote a cold morning and we we're about to gives up. We saw, then, the indication of web based ticket and we decided to give it a chance by looking at the castle website. And then we made our tickets with readout in 1min. Received QR code and changed queue immediately. We were in a minute later ready to queue for the elevator and start our day enjoying our time in osaka to do everything we had been schedule already. Thanks headout

While Super Nintendo World captures the magic of Mushroom Kingdom, the reality of two-hour standby waits will make the attractions feel overrated but Donkey Kong and Mario Kart experiences are cool. So try those and dont spend over 4 hours in Super Nintendo world. I loved much more the immersive , must-try, 4D technology of Harry Potter castle and the light show over the castle , the adrenaline of The Flying Dinosaur in Jurassic and aswell the Minion Park with a huge 3D dome screen. Those will be a much better balance of excitement per minute spent waiting, ensuring you still have time to enjoy the park's diverse highlights that I end up missing .

I find the different programmes engaging and I had a fun filled day. I just find that the rides took a long waiting time and though there is the option for single patrons to queue separately, many people abused the system with people of obvious familial looks obviously having travelled together still took the queue meant for SINGLE travelling patrons. Staff were friendly enough and were generally helpful but still very very weak and limited in English. For a tourist attraction bringing people from all over the world, the Japanese staff should be proficient in conversational English to help more effectively.

    Universal Studios Japan absolutely blew me away. I’ve been to both Orlando and LA, and this one was hands-down my favorite. The theming throughout the park felt far more unique and immersive compared to the U.S. parks, truly on a Disney-level when it came to aesthetics, detail, and overall experience. The cast members were a huge part of what made it special. Every single person we encountered was joyful, kind, and genuinely seemed to love being there, which made the entire day feel warm and welcoming. Jurassic Park was a dream come true for me (I’m obsessed with dinosaurs), and having an entire section dedicated to it was incredible. The kids’ area was much larger than expected and absolutely adorable, with thoughtfully designed Hello Kitty and Sesame Street themes. Harry Potter World completely stunned us. The approach alone, walking through a lush path of live trees before entering was magical. Hogwarts itself was surrounded by water and greenery, making it feel peaceful, grand, and incredibly real. And then… Nintendo World. Massive, vibrant, and wildly immersive complete with a Donkey Kong section! It exceeded every expectation. Even the food impressed us. It was genuinely tasty and far less gimmicky than theme park food in the U.S. Universal Studios Japan was an unforgettable experience, and we loved every second of it.

    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.

    My family and I had an excellent experience going to Universal Japan for our first time. Even though we purchased the standard ticket, we were able to go on rides without long lineups most of the time. Food at the restaurants was very good and the service was outstanding! Would definitely like to visit again. The Christmas meal they made at Universal Christmas Food Festival was delicious and my teen boys were very happy. The merch was a little pricey. This was my only complaint.

    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.
