Absolutely worth it! The Express Pass at Universal Studios Japan made our day smooth and stress-free. We visited with four kids, and it was a real lifesaver. Average wait times that day were around 40–50 minutes, but with the pass we were getting on rides in about 10 minutes — a huge difference. It saved us so much time and energy, and we managed to enjoy all the top attractions without rushing. We had more time to explore, eat, and just enjoy the park instead of standing in lines. One important tip: be very careful about the list of included attractions and the scheduled entry times when choosing your pass — it really matters for planning your day. Highly recommend — it truly upgrades the whole experience!

At first, there was a very long line at the entrance. We were worried we wouldn’t be able to see all the attractions that were important to us. But with the FastPass, we managed to see everything—and even more. At Super Nintendo World, we were allowed in early, and we were also able to ride Mine Cart Madness before our FastPass time. The staff were super friendly and waved and clapped at us from the rides when we came back. Thank you so much for this unforgettable day.

It was my wife and daughters first time on a theme park. So straight up from arriving the excitement was building up. We saved a lot of time with the express pass, particularly in Super Nintendo world which was the highlight of our trip. We noticed how long where the queues for donkey Kong and Mario kart. What a difference the pass makes. Thanks.

Awesome, we really wanted the express pass 8 but only ended up with the number 5, it still worked out really well, helped with waiting times and then we used the USJ app to assess times for other rides alongside our designated times and express passes. Great value and helped make a our family day so much smoother.

    The pass worked great, they are expensive for what you get as on a couple of rides you skipped only part of the queue but it was still quicker than waiting in the general line. Also, the timed entry in to Super Nintendo world was late in the day and by then it was opened to everyone anyway which was a bit of an annoyance.
