I was very unsure about buying anything extra for this trip. But when the second day of my trip came I had gotten the express pass for my family and once we started going on more rides I noticed immediately the difference the longest i waited was maybe 15 minutes and that's already exaggerating it. The price was steep but I highly recommend it it was the best decision if you get the one to include Super Nintendo world you can ride everything and honestly only spend a total of 15 minutes in line for all of them out together not each one it was amazing

Absolutely CRAZY experience for me & my wife! Enjoyed ALL the popular rides on my day to USJ, thanks to the express pass backdrop which got us skip the line access to rides that had the highest waiting time For all other rides, we used the single entry queue which got me inside the ride within 10-25 minutes per ride. One of the best days of our lives.

Today was a very nice day at Universal Studios, Osaka. We took the express pass. I believe it is a must in order to avoid waiting more than an hour for most of the activities. It was very, very hot today they were giving out salt tablets, which were very appreciated.

    The pass enabled us to get through the queue quickly for Harry Potter. But the 3 other queue-cutting attractions were closed due to rain. As a result, 1 out of 4 of the queue-cut attractions could be done. And no discount possible.
