    Step 1: Go to the Universal Studios Japan Studio Pass page on Klook

    USJ Studio Pass Tickets Klook
    You can type in 'Universal Studios Japan' into the search bar on the Klook website or mobile app. Alternatively, you can find the Universal Studios Japan product page by going to Explore Destinations > East Asia > Japan > Osaka Prefecture.

    Step 2: Check the calendar for the date you’re visiting

    USJ Aid Page Calendar
    On the USJ Studios Japan product page, click the 'Check availability' button and select your desired date of visit. You will then be able to select the types of USJ Studio Passes packages available for that day.

    Why are there different prices for USJ Studio Passes?

    The USJ Studio Passes are priced based on the different seasonalities - A/B/C/D/E - each with a corresponding selling price. A is the cheapest, while E represents the busiest period and hence will be the most pricey.
    On Klook, the prices will automatically reflect the correct pass type required for the date you have selected.

    Where can I find the Universal Studios Japan Studio Pass price calendar?

    USJ Official Ticket Price Calendar
    You can also find the official price calendar on the Universal Studios Japan website. Look for the date you’re visiting the theme park to determine which ticket category you need to purchase. For example, if you’re planning to visit on 26 December 2023, the calendar indicates ‘C’, hence the price reflected will be that of the 'C' pass to enter the park on that day. The price calendars are released up to 3 months in advance.
    #KlookTip: We understand that your travel plans might change. Fret not, your USJ Studio Pass is valid for 90 days from the selected date of visit. You may use it for any dates displayed on the calendar corresponding with your pass type A/B/C/D/E.

    Step 3: Select your tickets and add to cart

    After determining which day you're visiting, you can now also decide what duration pass you want to get - 1 Day, 1.5 Days, or 2 Days. There are also new special bundles available on Klook:
    • 1-Day Studio Pass + Early Entry (15-Minute Early Entry Pass)
    • 1-Day Studio Pass + Super Nintendo World Area Timed Entry Ticket
    • 1-Day Studio Pass + Have Fun in Kansai Pass
    Klook Tip: An Area Timed Entry Ticket is necessary to enter Super Nintendo World. You may get one after entering the park via the USJ App [Apple Store | Google Play] or at the Park Ticket kiosk at Central Park. It is also included in selected USJ Express Passes, read on for more details.

    Step 4: Pay for your ticket

    Proceed to make your payment once you’re satisfied with the list of items in your cart. There are several payment methods you can opt for namely via credit/debit card, your local e-wallet if already available, and more.

    Step 5: Enter Universal Studios Japan directly with your Klook e-ticket!

    Upon successful payment, you will receive an email with your order summary (this is not the same as a booking confirmation). Once your booking has been confirmed, you will receive a confirmation email together with your e-ticket.
    You can use the e-ticket on your Klook App or email to enter Universal Studios Japan directly. That means skipping the queues at the ticketing booth and having more time to explore this exciting theme park!

    Maximize your time and budget at Universal Studios Japan with an Express Pass!

    USJ Super Nintendo World
    If you’re trying to hop on as many rides as possible when visiting the theme park, then you may want to consider getting a 1.5-Day or 2-Day Studio Pass. You can also opt for an additional Express Pass to help you skip the queues!
    Klook has two Express Pass options for you — the Universal Studios Japan Express Pass 4, which will allow you to skip the lines of up to four rides, and the Universal Studios Japan Express Pass 7, which will allow you to skip the lines of up to seven rides!
    Klook Tip: Remember! You'll still need the Studio Pass on top of the Express Pass.

    Similarly to the Studio Passes, there are also tiered pricing for the respective Express Passes.

    Why are there timings on my USJ Express Pass?

    When you book a USJ Express Pass, you will be allocated specific timeslots to skip the queue for the time-designated rides covered. For example, if you are allocated the 10:40 am to 11:10 am slot for The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man ride, you will have to be present during that 30 minutes to enjoy the skip-the-queue benefit.
    As there are different combinations of these timings available each day, you will now have the option to choose your desired timeslots when you book your USJ Express Pass on Klook! All you have to do is add the Express Pass you want into the cart, and make the selection on the booking page as follows:

    Klook Tip: There are only limited quantities of Express Passes available daily. So do book in advance and don't wait till the actual day!

    Common FAQs

    Q: What if I can’t visit Universal Studios Japan on the date I chose?

    A: That's okay! Just make sure to visit on any date that's specific to the price calendar of your purchased Studio Pass type. Your Studio Pass is valid for 90 days from your selected date.

    Q: I don’t know which ticket category to purchase because the date I want to visit isn’t on the calendar.

    A: If the dates that you’re planning to visit aren’t released yet, you can check back again another time. The Universal Studios Japan price calendar will be updated on the first day of every month.

    Q: If I buy the most expensive ticket, can I use it on any day?

    A: You may choose to visit the park only on days with the same price tier as your chosen package. So, even if you have the most expensive ticket (Studio Pass E), you still cannot visit the park on days under studio passes A, B, C, or D.
