The express passes saved us time and allowed us to fully enjoy the park. We are a family of 4 and had an excellent day. Everything is designed so you never stand still in line, whether for an attraction or a restaurant. We had to go through Headout to buy our park tickets because the official website blocks purchases with certain credit cards... I contacted the official website and, despite trying different cards, accounts, etc., etc., it was impossible to buy them on their site. The price on Headout is higher...

Great experience at Universal Studios Osaka! The park is magnificent and the rides are really awesome. It was very crowded with long lines, but thanks to the Fast Pass, we were able to do all the rides we wanted without wasting too much time. It makes a huge difference if you want to make the most of your day. I highly recommend getting the Fast Pass to avoid spending hours waiting in line!

Easy admission, voucher instructions were clear. QR code worked smoothly. Just one note for anyone on the fence: I think it's impossible to do all the attractions without skip-the-line access in just one day, even with a 10:00 PM closing. I've never seen so many people in a park... and I've been to quite a few 😅. In short, a trustworthy and efficient site, I will keep using it.

With the express pass we got to use the park when we first got in when lines were not to busy yet and then later as more people arrived at the park the lines got longer and with express pass it made the extra money worth it to skip the long lines😊 wait time at Harry Potter was 90 minutes and it took us about 10 minutes to get through the line.

Universal Studios Japan is a must do if you are traveling with kids! If you have enogh time, plan to spend two days in the park, there is sooo much to see and to do that makes one day simply too little time, even considering the opening hours from 8am to 10pm. We really enjoyed our day here, just wished to have had another day!

Very easy transition arriving in our Osaka hotel and getting to Universal Studios. We happen to be there the first day of Halloween Fright Fest! All the food, drinks, and rides were great and at an affordable price! We had a great time! We love Japan and will be back!

    It was a very beautiful day, sunny and warm, despite the fact that it is a very populated place, this day in particular wasn't overcrowded, and we could enjoy the park , and using the express pass, we went to "the flying dinosaur" the Koppa's Challenge, and the Harry Potter attraction, we save hours in line because of that and we could spent more time enjoying the rest of the park

    Really smooth entry with small queues, and nice inside the Express Pass allowed us to get so much more out of the day by spending a significant less time in queues for attractions than we otherwise would have. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey an absolute highlight!

    Fast pass is definitely the way to go. Only down fall is that you don't pick the times , they are allocated to you so you have to be prepared to have a big day. Thankfully all the Nintendo rides were around the same time so we could move from one to the other easily!
