【Universal Studios Osaka 🌎 USJ experience sharing】
This article organizes all the must-see areas, classic facilities, and hidden delicacies in USJ at one go, making your trip full of highlights.
🎢 Must-see areas & special attractions
1. The Wizarding World of Harry Potter
As soon as you walk into this area it's like entering Hogwarts! The level of detail in Hogwarts Castle is terrifying, and the Forbidden Journey is super immersive. It is recommended to go early in the morning or at night, not only will there be fewer people, but you can also take more beautiful photos. Don't forget to grab a glass of Butterbeer, which is worth trying either iced or hot.
2. SUPER NINTENDO WORLD™
For Mario fans, this area is heaven! From the excitement of Mario Kart: Bowser's Challenge to the interactive scene design, it's super fun to play! However, this area is so popular that you'd better rush here to draw a group ticket or buy an Express Pass immediately after entering the park, otherwise the waiting time will make you crazy.
Remember to buy a Power-Up Band, it will be more fun to collect coins as you go!
Must-eat food:
🐢Turtle Cheese Yakisoba Bread: It looks like a turtle shell, filled with rich cheese and fried noodles, which is definitely a wonderful combination of Japanese flavors.
🌭Dongqigang Hot Dog: Banana curry flavored hot dog, special and delicious, Dongqigang fans must try it!
3. Donkey Kong Area (New Area!)
It feels like a whole jungle adventure! The three-dimensional track design of the Dongqi Steel Mine Car Tour is super exciting, and every turn makes your heart beat faster. Because this area is usually queued together with SUPER NINTENDO WORLD, it is best to come early to draw a group ticket or buy an Express Pass, otherwise it would be a pity if you didn’t come.
4. WaterWorld
A must-see live stunt show! From flames and explosions to water battles, the scenes are so spectacular that you can't take your eyes off them. If you want to experience the feeling of being splashed with water, sit in the front row. If you don’t want to get wet, it is recommended to choose the back row. It is best to queue up in advance because there are always a lot of people at each show.
5. Jurassic Park & Hollywood District
The big drop at the end of Jurassic Park Water Adventure is really wet and exciting. It is recommended to bring a waterproof jacket or dry bag, otherwise it will not feel good to have your clothes all wet.
**The Flying Dinosaur** is the most thrilling ride. The design of the suspended roller coaster makes you feel like you are being held upside down by a pterosaur and flying. Every flip makes your heart almost fly out. This facility is definitely worth queuing up to experience, especially at night!
🎟 Express Pass
If you are traveling to USJ during holidays or special festivals, it is highly recommended that you purchase the Express Pass for popular facilities, which can save you several 100-minute queues. It’s best to buy them online in advance, as they are often sold out on site and are more expensive.
🍴 Other food recommendations
The Three Broomsticks (Harry Potter area): The prime rib is super delicious!
Toad's Cafe (SUPER NINTENDO WORLD): The meals are super cute and surprisingly delicious.
USJ Popcorn: There are popcorn buckets of different flavors in different areas, which you can collect while walking around!
📱 Tips:
Be sure to download the USJ official app to view real-time wait times, maps, and show schedules.
The park is huge, so wearing a pair of comfortable shoes will save your feet some pain.
If you want to take good photos, enter the park early and go directly to the popular attractions to avoid the crowds.
This time I was really satisfied with the game! USJ always brings new surprises, I will definitely come again next time!
