Looking for hotels near Universal Studios Japan, Osaka?

We went on a Friday in December 2019 and surprising got on all the rides with very little waiting time. The longest we waited was 45 mins for the minion ride. There are a few rides that have single line. Even if you are in a group or a couple, as long as you don’t mind not sitting together than take this option. It will save heaps of time. Unfortunately you cannot take any food or drinks into the park. Staff check all bags. Also don’t bring a selfie stick, it’s not allowed either.

We were pre-warned about the lines at Universal Studios but we thought we would be going on a reasonably slow day, we were wrong. We spent most of the day waiting in lines for rides that lasted at most 5 minutes. We decided to use the single rider lines, but we found most of the time that line moved slower than the others. Unless you know the park is going to be a ghost town either get the fast pass or just dont go felt like it was a waste of one of our days.

Definitely buy the express ride pass before you go. It is expensive, but it is definitely worth it. Otherwise you face 2hr plus wait times on every single ride. We bought the passes, and loved every minute of our very full day there.

One of the worst themed amusement parks i have visited. The attractions are mediocre, the food was boring. One attraction is accompanied by at least 5 surrounding shops that has almost identical stuffs. We bought the 1.5 days pass and were finished on the second day before 12o clock, including several hours of meaningless wandering. The only positive thing is the souvenirs were cute, and that's really all.

Everything was great until I got ill. Too bad they don't have any medicines even at the clinic! And none of the staffs are able to speak English, this is really concerning since there are a lot of foreigners who visit here. Also, the clinic is so far away from all of the attractions. The blankets were too thin, I felt really, really cold. I couldn't contact my friend to tell her that I was sick because there weren't any wifi, and none of the staffs helped. I can only get the wifi somewhere near the entrance. Honestly I was disappointed about the service, but the rides were awesome though.

Might want to learn japanese before going because all the shows are in japanese. Even Harry Potter speaks japanese. If it’s not too much, might want to consider buying the fast pass. The line may take HOURS for every ride. Dont be afraid to cosplay your favourite character there. There are loads of people who do so.
