Things to do in Japan

While preparing for this trip to Osaka, Japan, I used Klook to book my Universal Studios Japan admission tickets. It was convenient to book in advance, and it saved me the hassle of having to buy tickets on-site. I especially liked that I could check my booking details and QR code via the mobile voucher. It was very convenient during the trip, as I could easily use my phone without needing to print out or keep track of a paper ticket. Super Nintendo World at Universal Studios Japan was what I was looking forward to the most on this trip, and choosing a package that included guaranteed entry helped a lot with planning my schedule. Since popular theme parks have many visitors and long wait times, I definitely felt that preparing admission tickets in advance is the way to go. The booking process wasn't difficult either, and since I could check the necessary information in the app, I think it's a very useful service for people preparing for overseas travel. Another advantage is being able to compare various sightseeing products and transportation options along with admission tickets. I traveled alone to Japan this time, and as I was planning my itinerary myself, the preparation process was much smoother thanks to Klook. Overall, I was satisfied because booking and using the service was convenient, and I plan to use it again if I travel to Japan or another country in the future. If you are planning an overseas trip, I recommend comparing options and booking in advance!

ease of booking on Klook: The booking process was quick, simple and hassle free. The reservation was completed in just a few minutes, and the confirmation was received immediately. Overall, the smooth and efficient booking experience made a great first impression. Thanks Klook! facilities: The park is very clean. The facilities exceeded our expectations and added great value to our experience. price: While DisneySea can be expensive, the overall experience justifies the cost. The experience is memorable and well worth the price for a special outing. queue times:Wait times can be long for popular attractions, but the queues are well managed. The attractions and overall experience make the waiting time worth it.

I highly recommend booking Shibuya Sky in advance for the very first time slot at 10:00 AM. From 10:00 AM onwards, visitors enter continuously by time slot, and since people don't just stay for an hour—many stay much longer—congestion builds up on the observation deck between the earlier and later groups. The more crowded it gets, the harder it is to take photos or comfortably enjoy the view. This applies to both Shibuya Sky and Tokyo Skytree. Personally, I preferred the structure of Shibuya Sky (45th floor, glass walls, open-air space, rooftop) over Tokyo Skytree (maximum height 634m, observation deck at 450m, entirely indoors). However, Tokyo Skytree might be a better choice during very hot or cold weather. Booking online through Klook is great because you can get about a 10% discount. Nowadays, if you don't book online in advance, it's practically impossible to buy tickets on-site.

Visited on Wednesday, October 7, 2026. We didn't do an open-run (arrive before opening), and it wasn't too crowded, so it was fine. It seems best to go straight to the innermost Donkey Kong ride first and work your way back toward the entrance. Excluding timed-entry tickets, the wait times were roughly 40 minutes to an hour. The Flying Dinosaur had a really long wait time; they said it would be 1 hour, but it felt like it took over an hour longer. The other rides were faster than expected. If you don't necessarily need to ride together, the Dinosaur ride offers a single-rider line, so you should aim for that. Donkey Kong was a bit too boring for my 4th-grade son who likes thrilling rides, but the Dinosaur ride was genuinely scary. Donkey Kong seems great for young kids in the lower elementary grades, while Harry Potter and the Forbidden Journey and the Dinosaur ride are better for adults or kids who like scary rides. Even though we only had 4 timed-entry tickets, we managed to ride almost all the popular attractions because it was a weekday (Wednesday) with fewer crowds. The lines move quickly, so you don't really need a folding chair. Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays probably don't require timed-entry tickets, but weekends and holidays definitely seem to need them. Also, Google Maps is better at finding directions than the Universal app, so using Google Maps to navigate to your destinations will get you there faster. The Universal app is very useful for checking show times and wait times, so make sure to download it. For those who bought tickets in Korea, please note that you must print out the timed-entry tickets (Q-Pass) on paper in order to use them. Have a great trip!

A peaceful and entertaining boat ride through the river. I felt safe 100% of the time and the boatmen were funny and entertaining. safety: 100% - everyone wears life vests experience: scenic view of beautiful nature, lush green forests everywhere (would be amazing during Sakura season and later in October/November when the trees change colors) with some fast moments on the river instructor: proficient in English, absolute charming and knowledgeable about the area. also: super funny - everyone was laughing location:the ride ends near entrance of Arashiama Bamboo forest

Absolutely beautiful experience! Feels truly magical to walk through the ‘Borderless’ world within. Highly recommend to all. Also super affordable. I do wish when I booked i realised the closing time was 10pm though (8:30pm slot) as the cafe doesn’t take orders past 9pm, so keep this in mind when booking!

finally managed to go up the skytree. wow it’s worth it. great experience, took lots of photos. believe it or not, the views on tembo deck is much better than views on the tembo gallery. there’s also multiple cafes, I ordered something to drink. good experience, worth it

It’s super convenient and easy to use this Amazing Pass. You can just enter so many attractions and metros only using this. Please make sure you are connected to the internet to use the barcode that will always be refreshed within 1 minute.

Although not a Harry Potter fan, but is impressed with the set up. the meals before the tour, outside at the food hall, are more value than the one inside the tour. recommend to go. spend 2.5hrs in the tour.

Overall, great tour! Was disappointed that the weather was cloudy so we didn’t get an opportunity to see Mt. Fuji, but visiting the different spots on the tour made up for it! We had Dyllan as our tour guide and he was awesome!!

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.

A great experience, we loved it, my daughter didn't want to leave. It's a delight for all your senses. Despite the barrage of lights and sounds, you don't feel overwhelmed; on the contrary, there are moments when you just want to lie down on the floor and let go because of how relaxed you feel.
