Great experience at Universal Studios Osaka! The park is magnificent and the rides are really awesome. It was very crowded with long lines, but thanks to the Fast Pass, we were able to do all the rides we wanted without wasting too much time. It makes a huge difference if you want to make the most of your day. I highly recommend getting the Fast Pass to avoid spending hours waiting in line!

Easy admission, voucher instructions were clear. QR code worked smoothly. Just one note for anyone on the fence: I think it's impossible to do all the attractions without skip-the-line access in just one day, even with a 10:00 PM closing. I've never seen so many people in a park... and I've been to quite a few 😅. In short, a trustworthy and efficient site, I will keep using it.

Fast pass is definitely the way to go. Only down fall is that you don't pick the times , they are allocated to you so you have to be prepared to have a big day. Thankfully all the Nintendo rides were around the same time so we could move from one to the other easily!

Universal was an incredible experience!! Would recommend to everyone that visits Osaka in Japan. Our favourites were Super Nintendo World, Harry Potter, and Jurassic Park. The flying dinosaur was our top ride and the most insane roller coaster we have ever been on!

Seamless experience. This pass is strategically created. All the rides in this pass had massive lines. Also the optional rides in tha pass help you make a decision if you want to go for extreme ones or chose a simpler ones with younger kids.

Really smooth entry with small queues, and nice inside the Express Pass allowed us to get so much more out of the day by spending a significant less time in queues for attractions than we otherwise would have. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey an absolute highlight!

Great amusement park. However, when buying tickets with fast passes, it seemed that you are randomly allocated a time to use such passes and cannot select a specific time. Hence we had to gamble that our allocated time was going to be within the 9am to 6pm period that we could attend the park (our cruise ship departed Kobe at 7pm). Unfortunately we were allocated 7:30pm!!! Luckily some protracted negotiations with the helpful staff saved the day, but it could easily been a waste of £750 for 3 tickets with no guaranteed access or fast passes to Nintendo World.

What to expect

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 Mine Cart Madness™ and other selected rides.

Start with Mine Cart Madness™, the hero attraction for this product, and use your Express Pass at its designated entrance.

Use Express access at attractions such as Mario Kart: Koopa's Challenge™, Flight of the Hippogriff™, Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey™, and Yoshi's Adventure, as per option selected.

Depending on your selected configuration, use Express access at Despicable Me: Minion Mayhem or The Flying Dinosaur, and Jurassic Park - The Ride™ or JAWS.

Super Nintendo World™

Your selected Express Pass configuration also includes timed entry to Super Nintendo World™, allowing you to visit the area during your allocated time.

Check your voucher for the Super Nintendo World™ entry timing assigned by the park.
