Universal Studios Osaka Ultimate Guide | How to beat the queue and play the Harry Potter and Mario worlds! Last week I went to Universal Studios Osaka (USJ) for two days and it was super cool! But USJ is really crowded, if no Plan is good, at any time the queue to collapse. So this time I specially compiled a "second kill queue + play the essence" strategy, so that we can play zero time, extremely fast into the movie! Prepare before entering the venue 1️⃣ Buy Express Pass – USJ queue time is super exaggerated, Express Pass can help you save hours! It is recommended to buy the "Super Nintendo World + Flying Dragon" version in advance, there is basically no queue for key rides. 2️⃣ Download USJ App – Instant map, waiting time, super practical! 3️⃣ Book Super Nintendo World admission time in advance – Nintendo World requires special reservation, no reservation basically can not enter! Tour the route (play the most facilities!) ✅ Open the Park - Play the Wizarding World of Harry Potter ⚡ (You can enter without an Express Pass) ✅ Then go straight to Super Nintendo World 🍄 (remember to use the app to check the opening hours to avoid the crowds) ✅ Flying Wing Dragon to take advantage of early 🦖 - this roller coaster is very exciting, the queue is usually long at night! ✅ Play Minions/Spider-Man at dusk 🕷️ - the most people at noon, so that it will be easier to go again at night Food, fun and shopping recommendations 🍔 Harry Potter Must Try: Cream Beer (No Alcohol) + Pork Ribs Meal 🍄 Nintendo World Must-Eat: Mushroom Burger, Star Popcorn Bucket 🛍 Loot shopping: Harry Potter wand, Mario T-shirt, USJ limited edition goodies Final reminder: 💡USJ is really big, remember to wear comfortable shoes! 💡 Arrive an hour early, there are already a bunch of people waiting to enter before the park opens! 💡 After playing, remember to go to Universal Studios City Walk to sweep the streets, there are so many food choices! This time USJ really played to the fullest, will definitely go again next time! What are your USJ secrets? Leave a message to communicate!

#January travel support event #Trip Moment Review #Overseas travel #Osaka I went on a trip to Osaka with my friends!! We went for 3 nights and 4 days, but I think it was a bit disappointing that we had an afternoon flight when we left and an morning flight when we came back ㅜㅜ But we had a lot of fun on the second and third days!! *I'll tell you about the travel expenses (per person) first* Flights: 341,400 won Accommodation: 190,437 won for 3 nights and 4 days Others: 1. Universal: 86,900 won 2. Gas pass: 51,400 won 3. Rapid (round trip): 23,800 won 4. Insurance: 10,900 won 5. Transfer: (with discount) 8,400 won Expenses = 713,327 won Other personal expenses: about 700,000 won (I bought a lot of souvenirs) Total: about 1.4 million won (I spent a lot on souvenirs, so my personal expenses were 700,000 won, but if you save, you can save 500,000 won!) I stayed at a hotel called 'Holiday Inn Osaka Namba' in Osaka Namba, and it was clean. The staff is also friendly, so I recommend it! The accommodation is about a 2-minute walk from Dotonbori, and Don Quijote, Takoyaki, etc. are all very close, and it only takes about 9 minutes to walk from Namba Station, so the location was very good. On the first day, I arrived at around 6:30, left my luggage at the accommodation, and ate takoyaki at the takoyaki place in front of the accommodation, and did my first shopping at Don Quijote! (It was my second time coming to Osaka, so I had an idea of ​​what to buy and how to do it) On the second day, I went to Namba and Umeda, and saw Umeda Sky Garden, Hep Five Shopping Mall, and visited Shinsaibashi Parco Department Store, and visited Namba Drugstore, etc. On the third day, I went to Universal Studios!! There were so many people even when I went to Open Land 🥲🥲 But I think I enjoyed going to about 5 places! I was able to enter Nintendo World safely!! Harry Potter Forbidden Journey was so fun that I rode it twice!! I really recommend it!! It's not scary at all or anything, but it can be a bit shaky, so I recommend people who get motion sickness not to ride it.. On the fourth day, I woke up at dawn, ate ramen at Icharan Ramen Beikenkan, and went to Kansai Airport! It was a short trip, but it was really fun!! I recommend Osaka to everyone :)

#大坂之旅 Every day was very satisfying. We visited Osaka + Kobe for 6 days and 5 nights. We visited all the places we wanted to go. Friends who are planning a family trip in Osaka can refer to this✌ 🚇 The whole trip was by subway! Children above elementary school age can apply for a child ICOCA at Umeda JR and use the card🐦 🏨 Stayed at Umeda Respire for 5 nights. The high-rise room is 25 square meters. The double beds can be put together. The location is super convenient! Downstairs is the subway, restaurants and shopping malls 🚦𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟏: Pikachu Restaurant-Parco 📝Parco is a paradise for the second dimension! There are Totoro, No-Face, Pokémon, Kirby and everything else... You have to make reservations in advance for the Pikachu restaurant, and the Gengar smoothie is delicious! 🚦𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟐: Osaka Castle Park-ytv-Shinsaibashi-Owl Cafe 📝This is my third time to Osaka Castle Park👌Get off at Central Mori-nomiya Station, Exit 3-A is the children's playground, after playing, take the small train next to it to the castle tower! The bronze statue of the Boy Detectives is next door to YTV! In the afternoon, visit Shinsaibashi, check in at Glico and Owl Cafe (book in advance) 🚦𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟑: Magical Animal Kingdom - Mouriya - Nanjing Street - Meriken Park - Anpanman Museum - Former Settlement Shopping 📝One-day tour in Kobe! Avoid weekends at the Magical Animal Kingdom...too many people to get a ticket😂Meriken Park is very chill on a sunny day☀ 🚦𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟒: Universal Studios Osaka 📝Bought a 3hrs VIP in advance and got to eat at the Toad Bio Cafe! We rode the roller coaster once🥳There were a lot of people. I suggest you buy a U-Pass and go early. We arrived at 10 o'clock and still didn't have enough fun until the park closed. 🚦𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟓: Expo 700 Commemorative Park-Snoopy Cafe-NIFREL 📝The whole family loves the expocity one-day tour! There is a bicycle park, maze, children's park, and you can visit the Sun Tower. The NIFREL next door is an aquarium + zoo + art gallery, which is as fun as Kobe Animal Kingdom💕 🚦𝐃𝐚𝐲 𝟔: Umeda Shopping 📝I prefer Grand Front (North Face, Montbell), Hanshin (RL, keen), Arc'teryx Kobe is better

It is said that Mount Fuji rewards early risers. Compared to Lake Kawaguchiko, I prefer Lake Yamanaka. Although there was no "reverse Fuji," I was already very satisfied. There was sunrise, swans, and Mount Fuji. 🚗6:30 Hirano Lakeside (Hirano no Hama) Took a taxi to Hirano no Hama. There were swans, sunrise, and Mount Fuji. 🚴10:00 Shiratori-hama After 7:00, there's a bus. Took the bus back to the hotel and rented a bicycle with electric assist. It wasn't tiring. Cycling around the lake took 2 hours. Gave up on "the park" as it opens at 11:00 and there were already many people waiting for viewing spots at 10:00. But actually, just a little bit past "the park," the scenery was also amazing. There's no need to wait specifically. After cycling around the lake, had brunch at Denny's. In the afternoon, took a bus to Lake Kawaguchiko. A perfect day. ❗️Tips The lake bus only starts running at 7:00. To see the sunrise early, you need to take a taxi or stay near Hirano. There are swans in many places, especially at Shiratori-hama, and also at Hirano. Bicycle rentals are available from 9:00 for JPY 2,000 for two hours. Rented from an elderly gentleman near Shiratori-hama. Two hours is enough to cycle around the lake and take photos. You can choose a hotel in Hirano or near a bus stop, which is very convenient.

When you come to Universal Studios Osaka, you will find that there are really a lot of people here, but even so, it is still worth a trip! The decoration and design of Universal Studios are very exquisite, and every area can make people feel the charm of the movie world. From the movie-themed blocks to the exquisite details, there is magic around every corner. Great White Shark, here there are not only fun facilities, but also great meals! I especially recommend the Great White Shark Restaurant. The cakes there are very beautiful and delicious, so delicious that you will fall in love with it at first sight! Whether it is fried food or soup, they are all very unique. After eating a meal, you will instantly feel full of energy and ready to continue the next round of adventure. Speaking of Jaws, there is not only a restaurant, but also a Jaws ride! This facility is super fun and will give you a thorough experience of the excitement in the movie. During the ride, you really feel like you are on an adventure in a movie, your adrenaline rushes, it's super exciting! Each of the various rides in Universal Studios is truly unique, with a wide variety of roller coasters and other facilities that will ensure you never want to stop having fun. The theme of each facility is closely integrated with the movie, and the immersive feeling makes people completely immersed in it, as if they have really become a part of the movie. In summary, Universal Studios Osaka is not only a theme park, but also a place where you can completely relax and enjoy entertainment. Although there are many people, the facilities and meals here are definitely worth the money. If you are a movie fan or like exciting rides, this place will definitely give you a super fun experience! #osakauniversal #osakauniversalstudios #osakauniversalstudioshaveaday #osakauniversalstudios #universalstudios #universalstudiososaka

Tokyo Tower 🗼 A landmark of Tokyo, offering an unforgettable experience of overlooking the entire city from the top, whether during the day or at night. 2. Kiyomizu-dera Temple in Kyoto ⛩️ Ancient wooden architecture and a suspended stage that takes you back to Japan a thousand years ago. The cherry blossom season in spring is especially breathtaking. 3. Universal Studios Japan in Osaka 🎢 A paradise for theme park lovers, featuring the Wizarding World of Harry Potter, the thrilling Jaws ride, and more. 4. Asahiyama Zoo in Hokkaido 🐻 A great place to get up close and personal with animals, especially in winter, when you can enjoy unique snow scenes and ice activities. 5.

#SoloTravelPlan #OsakaTravel #OsakaFood #osakajapan Here is a travel plan for my first time in Osaka for 5 days and 4 nights. This time, I went to Osaka-Kobe -Kyoto with a budget of around 50K (including everything). Day1 Osaka Day2 USJ Day3 Kobe Day4 Kyoto Day5 Osaka back BKK I recommend anyone who likes nature to stay in Kyoto for 1 night because the vibe is really good. 🌟Travel Tips🌟 -For travel, I recommend using the JapanTravel app or gg map, which are very accurate. -The accommodation is near Dotoburi. It's only 2 stations away on the subway and very close to the metro. It's about a 1-minute walk, so it's not scary. You can walk to Donki. -The currency used is JPY. I recommend exchanging cash because some shops don't accept cards. -Dressing for the evening is not too cold. The lowest temperature is around 13 degrees at night. -No visa required. -We arrived at USJ around 7am. We didn't buy a pass and were able to enter the Mario zone right away. For anyone looking to go abroad for the first time, I recommend Osaka. The atmosphere is great.

I really found that many people’s strategies are ineffective😭. There are many strategies on the Internet, and they are too fragmented 😫! Before going to Universal Studios Japan, I also did a lot of research 📝, but after arriving, I found that many of them were not practical, and some were even useless 😓. We have compiled this information here, hoping it will be helpful to those of you who are planning to visit Universal Studios Japan💕! 📖Notes📖 Download USJ Japan APP ·Link tickets in advance (the whole family is linked to one 📱, which makes it easy to grab the numbered tickets) ・Prepare 100 yen coins for bag storage · Bring your own water cup, free drinking water is available in the park🆓 • Carry your passport with you at all times, you will need it for tax refund👛 • You can get a tax refund at Universal Studios, so don’t throw away the receipt. On the right side of the entrance, you can eat anything 🎠. • Use Google to find out which bus to take, and take the bus at that time. Be sure not to take any bus that arrives before that time. This way you won’t go wrong! ! ! 🎯Ticket purchase situation ·Since this is my first time visiting Universal Studios abroad, I bought seven express passes in advance so that I can plan my itinerary in the park more effectively🚶 The quick pass includes one admission ticket to the Nintendo Park + a draw after entering the park on the same day🎫. We entered Nintendo twice in different time periods, which was super cool😆! Almost no waiting in line! There is still plenty of time to check in and take photos in the park. 🎊Summary of Japan travel experience Safe, clean, convenient, well-developed transportation, similar writing (most of which can be understood), shared culture, dry landscape, stationery, exquisite, easy to buy (the recent exchange rate is particularly ideal), cost-effective service industry, close to China... Japan will still be my first choice for the next trip abroad🎊.

🗓️Itinerary: 1️⃣You need to purchase tickets and fast pass tickets on the official Japanese website. Only with fast pass can you choose the time to play designated facilities. 2️⃣ Remember to check the opening hours on the official website. They usually open 1 hour earlier, so remember to arrive earlier than the official opening time! 3️⃣ As soon as I entered the park, I ran to the Minions Park to play the rides that did not have fast passes. There was no one queuing at all. After you finish playing, you can enter the Mario Park, and you can play one more facility. 4️⃣ If you want to enter the Mario Park at night, remember to check the time when you can redeem the group ticket on the App one to two hours after the opening. 5️⃣If you want to eat at Mario’s restaurant, remember to queue up after entering the park. We queued for nearly an hour that day. The following is our schedule for the day's quick customs clearance Mario 10:10 Harry Potter 14:10 Spider-Man 17:20 Flying Pterosaur No time limit #osaka #osakaattractions #osakauniversalstudios #Januaryplaces2025

I traveled to Osaka, Japan I went in July during the summer, and it was very hot. Accommodation I booked a room that was relatively cheap, so it was overall small. It was a bit disappointing. Additionally, the breakfast was not very good. However, as expected in Japan, the room was very clean. Most hotel counters can speak English. Osaka Universal Studios is expensive but highly recommended! It's very large and there's a lot to see. However, I recommend entering with very light luggage. Of course, there are paid lockers inside. However, the restaurants inside Universal Studios are very expensive, haha. Osaka Dotonbori Dotonbori is like Hongdae. It's a very famous tourist spot, but I recommend just sightseeing rather than buying or eating anything there. It's expensive and the taste is just so-so, haha. Osaka Castle I saw Osaka Castle once when I was young, but it has been remodeled and looks completely different now. It's a pity that the old feeling is mostly gone, but the exhibition hall has been upgraded and the interior is more comfortable! Japanese Subway The Japanese subway is much more complicated than the Korean subway, and the entrances are often different if the lines are different. Make sure to check thoroughly before you come!

Must visit Osaka! A cute and cheerful 1-day trip that will make your heart flutter. You can stay from morning till night. There’s nothing happier than this! 💖 🍄 Super Nintendo World, Mario zone. This time I want to try going at night (I’ve been there during the day before). In conclusion, it’s just as beautiful as the day! Plus, it’s so much fun to take pictures! 🏎️ Mario Cart, the line is still long, but it’s still as fun to play!! It’s so nostalgic! 🤩 🎢 Hollywood Dream, my heart is going to give out! After playing, my hands are going limp! If you like to play something really fun, go and join this line! 😂 🔮 Harry Potter, it’s packed with people!! No matter how many times I’ve been here, there’s never been a shortage of people!! But I still love it every time I’ve been here…because I’m a Harry Potter fan! ⚡️ 🍌 Minion Park, an adventure in the world of the cutest minions. The atmosphere is fun and lively, which is great for the heart. Every time I come here, I feel like I'm 14 again💕 🦧 Donkey Kong Country This zone just opened, don't be surprised if there are a million and eight people. If you don't have an Express Pass, you can go back and wait until there are fewer people before coming back. You can use the time to join other zones, I'll tell you! 📲 If anyone is coming, don't forget to download the USJ app to check the map/check the waiting time for various rides in the park, as well as use it to book tickets to enter various zones in the park. Having the app will make your life 3,000% more convenient! In conclusion, no matter how many times I come here, it's still fun and happy every time. And of course, USJ is another location in Osaka that you really can't miss when you come here📌😆💖🇯🇵🌏 #universalstudiosjapan #usj #usjosaka #universalstudiosjapan #osaka #osakatrip #osakajapan #osakatravel #Osaka #visitosaka #osaka #universalstudiosjapan #harrypotter #supernintendoworld
