Universal Studios Japan


My family loves to visit theme parks and fun family places. We planned our trip to Universal Studios Japan before we arrived there. We bought our entrance tickets through Klook website because we did not want to wait in the long queue to buy our tickets there. It is easy to buy the tickets online and we just need to show the barcode on the mobile phone or printout for entrance. 



Universal Studios Japan is a very popular tourists attraction in Osaka and so you need to be prepared to wait in long queues for popular rides. If you can afford the Express Pass, then you can pay extra to get those online too. Do get yourself familiarized with the park map before you go. Some rides have height restrictions and I was glad my son was tall enough for the few popular rides we went on.



We were there early because we wanted to ride the popular Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey first. We heard that this was the best ride and didn't want to miss it. If you arrive late, you will need to get a timed ticket for entering The Wizarding World of Harry Potter. I loved the 3D ride without 3D glasses, I could feel the magic, the dragon's heat and the thrill of a new dimension in the wizarding world. It was really an awesome ride not to be missed!





We love Minions and both my kids bought some minion souvenirs here. My son loved the Despicable Me Minion Mayhem ride the most. The ride was kind of crazy, silly and funny. It was a bit too bumpy for my husband and daughter.



The big minion was filled with popcorn it in, the small minion has candies and the Spiderman toy car goes forward and when it knocks something, it'll go backwards. The 3 stickers in the front were given to us free by the staffs who works there. 


This is my favorite family photo taken at Universal Studios Japan.


We enjoyed our delicious turkey drumsticks.

There were also many stage shows and street shows. If you love to watch these shows, better check out the time. Here is one that I recorded.


My children had fun riding some kiddie rides at Universal Wonderland.







Another popular ride was the Amazing Adventure of Spiderman. We didn't need to wait long as it was getting dark and many people have gone back. This is another ride you shouldn't miss if you come here. 


We were lucky that the weather was good and did not rain. We were there until the park closed. 




Even though we were tired, we enjoyed ourselves there. Looking forward to more family adventure in the future.
