I have spoken to two people at the support centre and neither of them spoke functioninal English and there was no English map and I was asked to take a picture of Japanese map. All they had to say was that map was in the app! They told me that we could skip queues for every rides which wasn't true. Even to book the ticket it was confusing and very hard. The experience at Harry Potter and Nintendo world was great though. Everyone working there had smiling faces and very kind until the closing hours.

Head out was quick and easy-I had no problems with my fast pass for Universal. I do prefer Disneyland over Universal as there are not as many rides but Harry Potter and Mario were great fun.

The express pass was a definite plus for enjoying as many attractions as possible without too much waiting, especially in Osaka's heat.

The attractions: the forbidden journey of Harry Potter and Mario Kart, are amazing, the decoration, the details, everything is very well cared for and makes you travel to their world to become one more. As pure adrenaline: the flight of the dinosaur. I have never been more scared in my life with an attraction.

Tickets only for attractions, not included in the entrance fee. It should be complimentary. It is too expensive. The rest was very good. The application was simple and clear.
