Dream Come True!

Visiting Super Nintendo World was the highlight of our Japan trip. Booking tickets in advance was crucial because the lines at the ticket booth were insane. The Mario Kart ride is unlike anything I've ever done. Highly recommend getting an Express Pass if you can afford it!

Great park, very busy

The attention to detail in the Harry Potter area is superior to the Orlando version. The castle walk-through is breathtaking. It was very crowded, so we waited 90 minutes for the Forbidden Journey, but it was worth it. Food options are great but pricey.

Efficient booking

Bought the combo ticket with the transfer. The driver was polite and on time, making the morning stress-free. The QR code worked perfectly at the gate. USJ is a must-visit in Osaka.

Magical Experience

The Flying Dinosaur is the most intense coaster I've been on! My kids loved Minion Park. The 'No Re-entry' policy is strict, so make sure you bring everything you need for the day.

Good organization

Japanese efficiency is visible everywhere. Clean park, orderly queues. We used the Single Rider lines which saved us hours. The parade at night is spectacular.

Crowded but fun

Went during school holidays and it was packed. You absolutely need the USJ app to get the timed entry for Nintendo. We didn't know and almost missed out, but luckily got a late slot. Do your research!

Local favorite

Even as a local, I book online to avoid the ticket booth. The Donkey Kong expansion is amazing! Best theme park in the world.

Wonderful Day

The Jaws ride is a classic. We bought the Express Pass 4 and breezed through the main rides. It's expensive but saves so much time. Don't miss the Butterbeer!
