The alternative to Disney, Universal Studios Japan is filled with Minions, Harry Potter, Jurassic Park's dinosaurs, Jaws, and Super Nintendo World among other attractions. With plenty to see, it has a great selection of new and old attractions, some of which can no longer be found in the US locations. Attractions Visit the worlds from your favorite fictional universes. From the soaring sights on a Hipporiff's back, to the 4D experience of living as Spiderman, you'll be spoilt for choice. There are worlds for all of Universal's creations, and you can enjoy not just the rides, but the food, stores and experience of living in their universes for a day. Tickets Tickets for adults range from for one day to for two days with discounts for children and seniors. We have a guide to saving money and also a guide to buying tickets, so make sure you read both before heading to the park. Buy tickets online and enter the park early! Another thing you can't miss are the express passes. If waiting in queues for hours on end isn't for you, skip the lines on the most popular rides with the Express Pass 4 and Express Pass 7. These let you skip the queues for your choice of up to 4 or 7 rides respectively. A must-have if you're looking to make the most of your time here! Access USJ is easily accessible from almost all of Osaka. The closest train station is the appropriately named Universal City on the JR line. A short walk from the station has you right at the exit. Several local and Highway Buses also make the trip to the USJ drop-off point on a regular basis. And of course, you're always welcome to drive in the comfort of your car and use their enormous parking facilities. There's even a sea shuttle to take passengers to the park from across the water! Our Pro Tip: Enjoy a direct, comfortable, and affordable trip with a bus transfer from Osaka Station to USJ. Book here!
