Introduction to how to use Super Nintendo World ™

Depending on the situation, you may be able to enter Super Nintendo World™ without carrying one, but it may be difficult as it is a very popular area. So, if you really want to enter, we recommend purchasing a confirmed area admission ticket or an express ticket.

Ticket prices vary depending on the date!

Universal Studios Japan admission tickets are broadly divided into seasons A, B, C, and D.

A: Low season
B: Regular season
C: High season
D: Premium season

Since prices vary depending on the day, it is important to check what season the day you visit falls on. Conversely, it may be a good idea to visit during the A:Low season, when tickets are the cheapest. Detailed season details can be found on the Universal Studios Japan official site.

Tips for using your time efficiently

You need to remember this if you want to use your time efficiently and explore the park without fail.

Universal Wonderland issues ‘reservation ride’ tickets that allow you to reserve the time of ride attractions. Once you specify your usage time and issue a ticket, your reservation is complete! Until usage time, you can play at Playland or Athletic or explore the park.
Check details about reserved boarding

2. Download the official app to view attraction descriptions and waiting times:
On the detailed page of each facility, you can easily check the description of the ride attraction and show, operation status, waiting time in minutes, and show schedule, so you can enjoy the park efficiently. Download the app

Introducing the most popular attractions

Universal Studios Japan has a variety of attractions. Among these, I will introduce the most popular attractions recently.

1. Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge

The world of the famous Mario Kart and various courses full of surprises appear right before your eyes. Rush along with Mario and Princess Peach while throwing your shell to repel enemies! The excitement never stops at the world's first Mario Kart experience realized with Park's latest technology!

2. Yoshi's Adventure

Let's hop on Yoshi's back and go on a treasure hunting adventure chasing Captain Kinopio! It's full of fun, such as finding three eggs hidden all over the place by referring to the map that the captain forgot to leave behind, looking down on the Mushroom Kingdom from Mount Kidari, and meeting cute kids!

3. Minion Mayhem

Enjoy the most thrilling ride attraction as you are realistically swept into the mayhem caused by the minions, with realistic videos unfolding on a giant dome screen! The stage is the mansion and laboratory of the phantom thief Guru. Start your extraordinary training to become a Minion by riding the special vehicle invented by Gru! Run around the lab with numerous minions and Guru's three daughters, fly around as much as you want, and then plummet to the ends of the earth! I thought it was, but the deep bond between Minion and Gru and the three sisters made my heart flutter unexpectedly. A minion who is so free but has a strong sense of justice!

Let's jump into the middle of the chaos and enjoy the cuteness of Mini!

4. Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey

The overwhelming experience ride attraction that lets you race through the world of Harry Potter™, which has won the award as the world's No. 1 ride attraction for the past five consecutive years, has evolved even further!

With realistic video that maximizes reality, 3D glasses are no longer needed, and with the more powerful magic effect, the dragon's flames and the Dementor's cold directly hit your entire body! Experience the thrill of a new dimension through a new adventure as you run through the 360-degree magical world more realistically and closer, surrendering your whole body to it!

5. Flying Dinosaur

A state-of-the-art flying coaster boasting elevation differences and lengths that go beyond imagination, allowing you to fly with all your might. Get caught on the back by the runaway dinosaur Pteranodon and fly through the air with your whole body exposed! This is an “unbelievable” thrill experience that will take you away from your daily life as you are dragged around the world of Jurassic Park 360 degrees.

Universal Studios Japan also includes Hollywood, New York, San Francisco, Universal Wonderland, Amity Village, and Waterworld Area.

6. Universal Studios Japan Detective Conan the Escape ~1 Million Dollar Prologue (Prologue)~

A bomb was planted at the recording site of a popular quiz program! This time, the style of running around the facility and challenging yourself to solve riddles has been completely revived. Use your brain and feet to solve the mystery in cooperative play with Conan and Heiji! Can the bomb be removed safely? Moreover, Phantom Thief Kid also appears... ?!

The excitement is at its peak in the world of ‘Detective Conan’, created with Park’s unique quality, through powerful combat action with realistic characters appearing before your eyes!

Introducing how to get to Universal Studios Japan

Universal Studios Japan is a bit far from downtown Osaka. That’s why it’s important to find it smartly. The editor's recommendation is to use the Osaka Loop Line and JR Yumesaki Line from Umeda to get to JR Universal City Station . Please note that because it is a JR line, you cannot use the Osaka Amazing Pass.
