Things to do in Japan

I had such an awesome time at Universal Studios Japan and would highly recommend this to everyone. I made the mistake of not getting the Express Pass and even though it is very expensive, if you don't get it, you'll have to stand in the regular lines and see basically hundreds of people in the express lanes pass you while your line barely moves. I've read that the express wait times could be as little as 10-20 minutes compared to 1-2 hours with standard. The Jurassic Park Flying Dinosaur and the The Hollywood Dream Backdrop coasters are my favorite. The Harry Potter rides are good and so are the 3 in Super Nintendo World (all but the Donkey Kong coaster is mostly for kids). The Waterworld show is completely in Japanese but it's still a very good show. The Jaws and Jurassic Park boat rides are fun as well.

💜Tokyo DisneySea Sparkling Jubilee Memories🌍 🎭Won the lottery for the "Dreams Take Flight" show. The storyline features Mickey and his friends building an airplane, with a pleasant surprise of adding the story of Coco. The actor for Coco also sang live. 🐟Nemo & Friends SeaRider is a dome-screen attraction that is relaxing and fun. 🚂Disney Transit Steamer is a very retro little steam train going from Port Discovery to American Waterfront. 🇺🇸American Waterfront has fantastic scenery in this area, with many spots showcasing great aesthetic sense and artistic appeal. 🐻Duffy and Friends Wonderful Friendship Lunch with Show Performance: booked the dining and show package. Watched the performance with the seven characters, and the atmosphere was lovely. 🎢Journey to the Center of the Earth: used DPA (Disney Premier Access), thought it was pretty good. The final drop on the coaster was thrilling, while the beginning was nice and cozy, giving a realistic sensation of going deep underground. 👸Rapunzel's Lantern Festival: breathtaking after the lights are turned on, but the overall experience is way too short. It is beautiful, though the story could be a bit more fleshed out. 🪽Peter Pan's Never Land Adventure: 3D plus dome screen, really liked it and felt very immersed. The flying sensation was amazing, the storyline complete, and the experience fantastic. ❄️Frozen: needless to say, used DPA. The storyline is extremely complete, and the experience is long enough. After watching it, it felt like reliving the Frozen movie all over again, very nice 👍 💙The overall atmosphere of DisneySea is wonderful. The entire year is themed around the 25th anniversary. The bright blue theme color is very memorable. My favorites are the atmosphere of the American Waterfront and the rides in Fantasy Springs. I also really loved the "Dreams Take Flight" show; it has a complete storyline, the dancers are fantastic, and the story transitions don't feel pieced together like a fairy tale book—it flows very naturally. Last but not least, thank you, fairy tale world 🌍

upper deck was closed due to rains but it was okay. we were notified about it onsite and they were polite about it. the view was also good considering I went during the day and it was raining. I suggest going at night.

Visiting Universal Studios Japan this time and purchasing the Express Pass was truly worth it. Although it is not cheap, it significantly cuts down waiting times for popular attractions. Highly sought-after rides like Mario Kart and Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey allowed for quick entry, saving a lot of energy and time. The park was very crowded that day, and without the Express Pass, some attractions would have required waiting for over an hour. It is especially convenient for travelers accompanied by elderly family members or young children, allowing more time for taking photos, shopping, and enjoying the park's atmosphere. The overall redemption process is simple—just show the QR Code at the entrance. Highly recommended for first-time visitors to Universal Studios or travelers with limited time.

If you're taking the Sagano Romantic Train and then the Hozugawa River Boat Ride, it's best to allow an hour and a half between them. For example, if your train arrives at 11:00 AM, book the 12:30 PM boat ride. After getting off the train, there will be signs directing you through a tunnel to the bus stop. The bus will make a brief stop and then go directly to the Hozugawa River Boat Ride building. There's a small shop where you can buy snacks and drinks; definitely buy something to drink, as the boat shop won't appear for about an hour and a half after you board. The boatman on our trip was very entertaining, likely a veteran, and interacted well with the passengers. When we encountered rapids, he would playfully warn passengers about a little splashing. You won't get completely soaked, as there are tarps for cover. Throughout the journey, the boatman spoke a mix of Japanese and short English phrases, and also used gestures to point out the local wildlife. The boat ride is spectacular and highly recommended.

Incredible experience all around. I’m not usually a modern art enthusiast, because it more often than not lacks the soul and skill that makes art meaningful. But this exhibition is definitely worth your time. Also the tea house is really nice!!

I really liked it. we had it booked for 19:30. arrived at 19:40 and were lead right in. inside us really nice. I loved the water part. It felt nice to walk through the water parts and the whole thing was very comforting. Just know that you will have to take of your shoes for the first part.

An amazing experience. Interactive artworks and installations that evoke emotion, thought, and a sense of wonder. We spent three hours there. The venue itself is well-designed and high-quality, with restrooms and vending machines on every floor. Highly recommended.

Great day out there, been to the London one first and this one completely washed it out the park. So much better with all of the attractions and stuff you can see. This is a must if your a harry potter fan.Even the cost to go to Japan and a very long flight for.

Linda was a great tour guide, unfortunately we didn’t get to see Mt Fuji due to the cloudy and bad weather but we learnt that you can check Mt Fuji Visibility Index before booking next time to ensure that there is a better chance of seeing it.

Booking through Klook is incredibly convenient! You don't have to waste time waiting in line to buy tickets at the venue. Just present the QR code you received to the staff at the entrance for scanning, and you can exchange it for a ticket and go up to enjoy the view immediately. It's hassle-free, and you even get a better price than buying on-site. The views of Tokyo are beautiful and very impressive. If you're planning to visit Tokyo Skytree, I highly recommend booking in advance through Klook. It's definitely worth it and meets all expectations! The convenience of booking through Klook:

I did the 2 days Osaka Amazing Pass and it was worth it. I literally didn’t have to pay extra for attractions or metro because it was included. I didn’t have time to go to all the attractions but if I visit Osaka again I will buy it again. I like that the attractions and metro were all part of one thing so it was easy and accessible especially since it was my first time visiting. Also, you got discounts on some attractions such as Don Quijote Oval Ferris Wheel.
