🎢 Tips for Visiting Universal Studios Japan for the First Time
1) Arrive Early – Gates usually open 30–60 minutes before the official opening time. Get there early to beat the crowds and be first in line for popular rides like Mario Kart: Koopa’s Challenge or The Flying Dinosaur.
2) Buy Tickets in Advance – Avoid same-day queues by booking your Studio Pass and Express Pass online on Klook
3) Download the USJ App – The official app shows live wait times, show schedules, and a GPS-enabled park map. It’s essential for planning your route and managing time efficiently.
4) Plan for Super Nintendo World – This area often requires a timed entry ticket, especially on busy days. Get an Express Pass that includes it or grab a free timed entry via the app early in the day.
5) Pack Light, Move Fast – Lockers are available, but keeping your bag small and mobile makes navigating the park easier. Don’t forget sunscreen, a water bottle, and a portable phone charger!
