The universal fast pass is a must. On my last visit I went without it and regretted it I only got on 2 rides in 7 hours. Got on 10 rides this time and was out of the park in under 8 hours. I purchased the 4+1 pass.

Was better than I expected. It felt like an adult Disney land, completely different to Universal Studios in L.A. The whole day was easy to navigate and was so much fun!!!!

It was a very beautiful day, sunny and warm, despite the fact that it is a very populated place, this day in particular wasn't overcrowded, and we could enjoy the park , and using the express pass, we went to "the flying dinosaur" the Koppa's Challenge, and the Harry Potter attraction, we save hours in line because of that and we could spent more time enjoying the rest of the park

A Dream Come True!Visiting Universal Studios Japan was an absolute fairytale from the moment we walked through the gates. Stepping straight into the vibrant, living blocks of Super Nintendo World felt like jumping into a childhood video game, and sipping warm Butterbeer in the breathtaking Wizarding World of Harry Potter completely stole our hearts. The energy, the incredible attention to detail in every single zone, and the joyful atmosphere made it a truly fantastic day we will never forget!

Found Headout special via a quick Google search, and it was well worth it. Got the passes and timed entry quickly and easily, and at a great value. Was able to spend my entire birthday exploring the whole of USJ, and made memories I will never forget!!

Universal Studios Japan

Your 1-Day Studio Pass gives you entry to Universal Studios Japan for the day, with access to the park's attractions. Your Express Pass adds priority access to Hollywood Dream and other selected rides.
