Frequently Asked Questions

How far is Universal Studios Japan from Osaka city center?+

USJ is in Sakurajima, Osaka, about 15–20 minutes from Osaka Station (JR Osaka Loop Line to Nishikujo, then JR Yumesaki Line to Universal City Station). The park entrance is a 2-minute walk from the station.

Is a Universal Express Pass worth it?+

On busy days (weekends, school holidays, cherry blossom season), the Universal Express Pass dramatically reduces queue times for the most popular rides (Harry Potter Forbidden Journey, Mario Kart, Hollywood Dream). On quiet weekdays, the standard ticket may be sufficient. Book Express Passes well in advance as they sell out.

When should I visit Super Nintendo World?+

Super Nintendo World opens at the same time as the park, and the queue builds rapidly. Be at the park entrance 30 minutes before opening, head straight to Super Nintendo World, and collect an Area Entry Pass (required to enter the zone) via the USJ app. By midday queues for the Mario Kart ride often exceed 120 minutes.

Can I visit both USJ and Namba on the same day?+

Yes — the park is 15 minutes from Osaka center. A full day at USJ typically ends by 20:00–21:00. Dinner in Dotonbori/Namba after USJ is entirely feasible and popular with visitors.

Is Universal Studios Japan suitable for small children?+

Yes — USJ has extensive children's zones including Sesame Street area and Minion Park with low-intensity rides. The Wizarding World and Super Nintendo World also have younger visitor-appropriate experiences. Height restrictions apply to the main coasters (Hollywood Dream: 132cm minimum).
