My girlfriend and I had an amazing time at Universal Studios Japan! We’re huge fans of the Mario universe, so visiting Super Nintendo World was a dream come true. The Express Pass was absolutely worth it because the regular queues were very long for our desired rides, and it allowed us to enjoy everything without spending hours waiting (only minutes!) Headout made the entire ticket process incredibly smooth and stress-free. Everything worked perfectly and we had no issues at all entering the park or using the passes. Thank you for helping make such a fun and memorable day! If I ever need tickets in the future, I know where to go now 😊

Universal studios in Osaka, Japan didn't disappoint us. It's a very nice place for the whole family. 1 day studio pass + the express pass was well worth it for a 1 day visit with a tonne of fun rides and experiences. Quick tip, buy your tickets online to save you time at the gate. Definitely for the express pass buying online for peace of mind as people line up at 6 am in the morning to get those last minute express passes. You can print your passes, but you can also use the Headout app.

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.

If your a coming to universal make sure you buy the express pass for at least 8+ rides it's worth every cent, also when you do but the express pass you will be on a timed schedule starting at 11:00 am (was for us anyway) we arrived late and couldn't find where our 1st ride was and missed the timer. Even so we came back later and asked if we could still use the express ride and it was no issue at all

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.

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.

    It was not easy getting through the park gate. It took 30 minutes to find the QR codes to get inside the park. It would have been easier if you could get them on the tickets on the universal studios app. The fast pass were easy once we were inside the park. The RSVP for Mario Land and rides went smoothly.
