Japan

Got super worried about getting the park hopper ticket to be able to get the most out of Disneyland and Disneysea but honestly, I think I got the most out of it. I would suggest starting with Disneysea if you’re into rides, and Disneyland if you’re into parades/shopping. I went to Disneysea and stayed till around 5 P.M., and did a lot of rides. I paid for 4 DPA’s and then waited 10-60 mins for the other rides. It honestly wasn’t that bad. Food is often taken by mobile order so we were able to order ahead; it arrived almost instantly as soon as we got to the venue of choice. Make sure you inform staff at the exit that you have a park hopper ticket or you might not get into the other park. We had a 10:30 A.M. start and finished around 8:30 P.M., completely satisfied for our first time there.

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of long waits, but Universal was worth it! I finally understood why everyone raves about Universal; it was so much fun. It really felt like experiencing the technology of capitalism... The quality was great, and even the waiting areas were so beautiful and realistic, making me feel like I'd stepped into a game or a movie. Meeting the characters, even though I knew they were mascots, felt so real, and I was excited and wanted to touch them! We only bought admission tickets and failed at an open run, so we just arrived at 8:30 AM without Nintendo entry tickets! We also managed our time well and rode the top 5 attractions. First, as soon as you enter, I recommend a quick dash to Nintendo to ride Donkey Kong (it was a 230-minute wait, but we got on in 100 minutes; there were things to see along the way, so it was fine, and it's popular for a reason!). Then, we explored Nintendo World and rode the Mario Kart ride (it was a 120-minute wait, but we got in in 40 minutes; it wasn't as bad as I thought? It was nice to feel like we were actually racing, but it wasn't like, "OMG, so much fun!!!"). After that, we left Nintendo World, grabbed some snacks, and rode the Dinosaur ride in Jurassic World! Highly, highly recommended; it's genuinely scary and thrilling! It's dizzying from the start... I often think about wanting to fly, but after this ride, I decided against it. It's that dizzying, and screams just come out naturally; if you love thrills, I totally recommend it! If you have time, I also recommend watching the WaterWorld show! The acting was better than expected, the action was decent, and it felt quite grand in scale! Things exploding and flying around—anyway, if you like action movies and water, go for it! And I absolutely recommend Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey! If you've seen or like Harry Potter even a little, you absolutely have to go! Even if you don't like it, you'll probably love it once you're there... It was so beautiful, and there were so many places I wanted to take pictures and just look around that I almost wished the wait time had been longer, but we got through it faster than expected, which was a bit disappointing! The luggage storage area was a bit chaotic, but overall, everything was wonderful, and I was so happy; I felt like a Hogwarts student. Truly highly recommended! And the Jaws ride, the staff's acting was amazing; it felt like I was in the movie!

It was raining, so unfortunately we couldn't access the outdoor area. We were asked if we'd like to cancel our tickets, but I decided to proceed with the indoor tour, and it was still an incredible experience! We loved it! The view is wonderful!

this was probably the best decision we made ! Not sure why Tokyo Disneyland does have this available before you enter the park to make the park experience better. We were able to show up at the Express lanes and bypass the line winding lines. Wait time is usually no more than five minutes. Although the Jurassic Park Ride was out of service when we visited that day, we were able to do ten rides, eight of which were from this pass. Totally worth it if you are only visiting for one day and want to maximize your time at the parks.

Seemless and quick check in. They get you on the boat and provide safety and instruction. Where comfortable clothing that you don’t mid getting a little splash of water on because it may happen. The scenery is breathtaking. You will end up on the other side of the river near shops with food and souvenirs as well as the bamboo forest.

We thought teamLab Borderless was unique with the "borderless" and map-less experience it offered. Since there are no maps, prepare to spend time inside as you look for special immersive installations and moving art pieces. It's a bit of a walk from Kamiyacho Station, but not difficult to find. We went around 10 AM on a weekday, which was perfect because there weren't many visitors. It only got crowded around lunch time when we went out. Elderly people and those with eye conditions/issues may find Borderless too dark and disorienting—might not be for them.

It is definitely a tourist trap, no matter what time you go, it’ll always be packed with tourists. But if you just focus on yourself/your group, and enjoy the installations, you’ll have a good time. Anyone saying it’s a waste of money or time probably just speed ran the whole thing.

It was a dream to visit Super Nintendo World, and finally we did. Just screenshot the OR code for the tickets and scan at the entrance then you're good to go. We went on a Tuesday, but there are still a lot of people. Going in SNW doesn't need separate area timed entry ticket, but we eventually bought an express pass to do the rides. Wait times are really long, anc kids do not have patience for that. Also, we don't have time to waste since we only have 1 day pass.

This is probably the best valued passes out there. We went to two museums, the Osaka Castle, did two cruises, did the Tsutenkaku Slider, the Hep Ferris Wheel, and went on the metro all day all over Osaka. We really enjoyed the sights and loved Osaka (probably more than Tokyo 🤫🤫If you are hesitant, don’t. Buy it and explore this beautiful city!

I enjoyed the scenery and definitely worth the trip! Although Mt Fuji was covered with clouds, our tour guide made it very interactive and showed us the sites regardless of unfortunate weather conditions. Very professional and made the tour fun!

Reservations for the Tokyo observation deck are not optional, they are mandatory! 😀 It was incredibly convenient, and even though I don't speak the language, I was able to enter easily with just a QR code! However, it would have been even better if the weather had been nice. 🥲 Additionally, I was a bit confused when I booked for four people, but all four tickets were under one person's name. Thank you for kindly clarifying via email that the tickets are issued under the name of the primary booker. Also, for Tokyo Skytree, you must enter at your scheduled time! If you're debating the 450m option due to the price, I personally recommend seeing both the 350m and 450m decks together!

We enjoyed this experience, if you’re a Potterhead, you must come here. Fully detailed on every aspect of the books and movies. Interactive aspects for different spells is nice since it’s like from the movies to reality. 4 hours is not enough since you will be exploring different areas, eating and buying merchandise.
