Universal Studios Japan Tips for First-Timers in 2024 | Buying Tickets & Super Nintendo World

Thank you for this! I will be there on November!!

Thank you very much

Wow! Your video is so helpful. Thank you.

Hi Chris,
I m going to USj first time in Dec (from overseas) and m thinking of doing 3 days with the Prime Standard pass. I checked that those 3 days arent blacked out dates. Is it safe to apply for my pass one day before onsite ? (I am staying at a hotel onsite that period). Will a pass holder be denied entry if it gets crowded? Thanks!

Still my favorite so far

Thank you very much making this video. I have just ordered USJ Express Pass 7 (spiderman) x 2 for my children yesterday at Klook and sent them the vouchers by email. Do they need to exchange for a "pass" at gate/ticket office on site when they arrive? The package details said "Admission to Universal Studios Japan (must be purchased separately)", does it mean I need to buy another set of USJ admission tickets for them? But I couldn't find it in Klook. Should my children line up early at gate to buy the entry tickets when they arrive Osaka? We are new travelers for japan. Please kindly advise. Thank you.

After buying an express pass, do you have to scan it to get a timed entry? I got confused from this tutorial in a bit

Wow, your USJ video is so informative and helpful for beginners! Can't wait to return for the Donkey Kong expansion in 2024 🤣😂

If you have a 3D secured credit card (password-protected authentication system) it is super easy to buy your tickets from the official website. I had anticipated all kinds of issues after reading several reviews and the troubles people encountered trying to purchase tickets from their site, and in the end if was very simple. We also arrived one hour before they officially open and, as you said, we were able to go straight to Nintendo World without reserving an area timed entry or an express pass.

I’m going to Universal Horror nights this year, and I have one question that I can’t really figure out. What time do the horror nights usually end? I already have my express pass, but I would really like to know about how much time I will have to explore all the scare zones and stuff. Thanks!

Hi! First time traveler here! I clicked your klook link for wifi device but I'm a bit confused on the bit where it asks for date length and device at checkouts. Is it asking for how many wifi devices we want or how many devices gonna be connected? (This is only confusing because in the info section it said 'if you need multiple wifi devices then book seperately' so I was wondering if it wants the connected devices, but then why does it say up to 5 connected devices in info section, that makes it sound like thats whats allowed for that price range😖)
Thank you for your help~

Thank you so much!!! Omg you saved me a lot of stress

Hi , what about the Early Entry ticket to USJ? whch allows you entry to the park 15 minutes early.

Do you need that if you arrive 1hout before adverstise opening time? thanks

😀

Hello! Could you please help me? If you get an express ticket do you still need to go to the park itself early (before opening)? Or how much time in advance is enough to understand where to go and everything?

Thank you so much for the video! Unfortunately we „overslept“ the in advance booking time, no express passes available at all..
Where can I find the blackout days in general so I can see if it’s a busy day?
And will we still have a chance without an express pass to enjoy the Super Nintendo world when we get there one and a half hour earlier for example? Aren’t we able to get any express pass at all now?

Do they offers vip pass like Universal Hollywood?

I’m affraid my kids gonna be stressed out with the queing

how weird that you blur people out. CRAZY

Do you have a vdo for disney sea 1st time visit tip? Thank you. new fan from Thailand.

Hi there, How long it take to cover the whole Universal studio? Many thanks

Hi Chris, do you have an idea on how to get the Early Entry admission? It seems not much infonis around. Is it exclusive to the Park's hotel guests?

For Muslims ladies, if you wear scarf, USJ staff will provide clips at ride entrance so that your scart won't fly off on roller coasters.

Hi, I saw that you mentioned when buying the express pass, you get a time entry into Mario land. Does that mean I still need to reserve a time entry slot at the park via app to get into Mario land? i.e. my Super Mario World entry says 1000-1100 so do you still need to reserve a slot or could I walk in?

Is the fast pass really worth it? The cheapest I can find to pre book takes the price from $226 to $646 New Zealand dollars. That doesn't seem right to me. Looking to go around 9th or 10th October

So I can enter the halloween attractions/events without a special ticket right??? Klook is trying to convince me I NEED an express pass to attent them but its sold out for the date i booked 🫠 kinda panicing please answer lol google is no help

Looking for information about *Universal Prime Annual Pass Grand Royal*. It's only available on the USJ's Japanese version website as I understand it. Do you happen to know if it includes unlimited 'queue jumps' on all attractions (basic and time entries)? I could not find and confirm this feature/benefit in any Universal Studio Japan official web pages any where. Thanks in advance, great video!

I guess I'll cross this off my list. All this about timed entries sounds too much like Disney.

Thanks for the video Chris! I’m wondering if we have to exchange US dollar to yen? Or if we can just pay with US dollar and do conversion our self’s?

Love your video thanks for the hotel tips! Planning on going back this summer !

this vid came up becuase Ive been looking into going to this place.. but fuk this lol looks like hell on earth. drive all over japan just to have to hurry up and keep up with the fast pass times and whatever.. hell no. thanks for saving me time and money x)

This video is so helpful, on a side note this vid made me plan a trip next year with my buddy here TY SM

Thank you so much for this video! We are planning to come to Universal mostly for the Harry Potter attractions. I was planning a whole day just in the Wizarding World part of the park, is that too much time?

Good lord. This is as unnecessarily complicated as Ghibli museum tickets.

Have just noticed, the fast passes for Halloween rides only seem to show on the JP site, not the international store or klook is this correct?

Thanks for your video, I have a question, Im overweight and Ive heard that the Mario Kart ride have a size limit. Is there any information you can share? What is the size?

Thanks for the video! Does Golden Week in China impact the crowds in the park?

Well that’s so inconvenient of no wifi for someone who has type 1 diabetes. Is Disneyland the same?

Do you need mask to go to the park ?

Hello Chris please help me solve a question I have. I am going on September 4 next month.
Do you know if I still need the time entry reservation to enter to Super Nintendo World? if I go 08:00AM as early entrance is because I already bought the regular ticket in the convenience store, so reading and watching many suggestions they say to go early entrance before the parks regular open to access the Super Nintendo World. Do you know something about that?

In the case I cannot get in for the regular ticket can I buy the access to Super Nintendo World the same day or make the reservation in a counter there to reserve the time slot entry.

Finally in the case I cannot get in to the SNW for my ticket can I still go to Kinopio cafe or is inside SNW and cannot enter withour the time entry ticket.?

Please respond me I will really apprecite it, since I am kinda overwhelm with the ticket I bought and want my daughter to access the SNW is there a solution?

Hey Chris, thanks for the nice and very informative video there. I wondering if we are going USJ with a 4yo kid. Understand from the web there is a "child swap" option, which the parent can take turn to ride, do you happen to know which queue should we join if our kid does not meet the height requirement? Thanks😊

Great video! One question Do you know what No Stock means from the Express Calendar Website?

Thanks so much for the video! So useful, I'm Planning my trip for October and I'm so excited for Halloween nights!

Thank you for this video 🎉❤ are you going to film about this year's one piece?

I like your shirt where did you buy it?

Thank you so much for this helpful video! If I buy the express 7 pass that includes various rides, am I guaranteed to be able to go on these rides if I show up at the allocated times or is it a possibility that it will be so busy that I don't get entry in my time slot? Thank you

Heya! Love the video and thanks so much for the tips! You're partially one of the reasons why I'm so excited for my upcoming trip. I was wondering if I was carrying a backpack with me which is big enough for a gimbal and a mirrorless camera, would I be able to take the rides? Would they have lockers big enough to fit a backpack in each ride or should I just forget about making a cinematic vlog there?
