Universal Studios Japan is a truly impressive experience, especially if you love theme parks and the world of cinema. The sets are ultra-immersive, especially Super Nintendo World, which really gives the impression of stepping into a video game. Attractions are varied, combining thrills with more narrative experiences. Organization is generally good, even if waiting times can be long at peak times. The atmosphere, music and attention to detail make for a memorable visit, and are clearly worth a detour during a stay in Japan.

I had an amazing time at Universal Studios Japan. The 1-Day Studio Pass with Express Pass was absolutely worth it — lines were much shorter, which let me experience more rides without stress. Super Nintendo World was the highlight, incredibly immersive and fun. Staff were friendly, the park was clean, and the atmosphere felt magical all day. If you want to maximize your visit and avoid long waits, I highly recommend getting the Express Pass. Totally worth the extra cost for the experience.

We used this website for the first time and were a bit unsure at first, especially because arranging things in Osaka can be complicated if you’re not familiar with the process. However, everything went perfectly. They delivered exactly what we ordered, on time and without any issues. The whole experience was smooth and stress-free. Truly excellent service. We will definitely use this platform again.

    The express pass made the experience so easy. We got to do our favourite rides multiple times using the pass and then redoing them in less busy times.
